[CLOSED] Remove Timestamp from reportcaster title.
Hello,
I am having some issues on the title bursting from Report caster.If you looked at it the below you see the Timestamp information infront of the title. but the user don't want to see the timestamp user just want to see title itself. I appreciate any any one have suggestion..

Example:
"Mon__21_May_2018_11_17_AM_EDT_Document3_PO_ID"

By title do you mean the filename being burst? I thought each burst section of the report output from a scheduled report procedure (FEX) is named burstvalue_filename.format (for example, Northeast_Sales.pdf)

Also, what version of WebFOCUS are you running?

Edit the schedule and check the Report Properties / Save Report As value under the Task. Is there some kind of &variable for a date timestamp at the beginning? What is in that box?

HI FP MOD CHUCK,
Under the task Save report as '%BURST'.pdf. I do not have any other date variable other than this '%BURST'.pdf.

I am using 8.2.03 and used '%BURST'.pdf and the report attachments did not have any date values. Try changing %BURST to some meaningful text for the schedule and see what happens. If that still doesn't work please open a case with techsupport, they may have the answer.

You can include a burst value in the name of a distributed file by using the '%BURST' syntax in the name. So, you're substituting the sort values here for the name of the file.

I suspect your burst field value has a timestamp in it as that is what %BURST displays. If this is still an issue I suggest you open a case with techsupport.
