Re: How do I set dynamic filename

[Banessa Mosley <Banessa_Mosley@BIT.COM>]

I have to do something similiar for a client.  Try using variables.
Example:

Unstring $journal_date by '-' into $year $month $day

     Let $journal_dt = $year||$month||$day

     Let $path = 'c:\ps\sqr\'

     Let $file_name = $journal_dt||'.txt'

     Let $file = $path||$file_name

     If $first_file = 'Y'                !set to Y once
          Close 1
     end-if

     OPEN $file AS 1
     FOR-WRITING
     RECORD=95:FIXED
     STATUS=#Open1
     If #Open1 = -1
          STOP QUIET
     End-if

This is just one way....hope it helps.

Subject:  How do I set dynamic filename




I want make a file name unique for each run. Right now I do
this
OPEN 'C:\PS\Sqr\ERRFILES\PYMST_COMPERR.txt' AS {out}

I would like to change this to
  120398_PYMST_COMPERR.txt  have the date or something
in there so I don't overlay a previous error file.

Thanks
