Hi All,

Firstly, I want to thank to all for handing me the solution for my WebFOCUS Query.

I have one other question Related with ReportCaster jobs. How can I add time-stamp to output file name.

Example:-
-* File MainFile.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
BY BURST_VALUE
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
BY CAR.CARREC.MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 100
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET SQUEEZE ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/ENIADefault_combine.sty,$
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT=&WF_TITLE.QUOTEDSTRING, SUMMARY=&WF_SUMMARY.QUOTEDSTRING, HFREEZE=OFF, $
ENDSTYLE
END

And When we will be scheduling the Job for above Report. We will receive file with MainFile.html name. But I need a ouptfile name like "MainReport_10_10_2014 7_07 PM.htm".


Please provide some solution for same.

Neelima Gupta

Neelima,

Use the search option above to search on "report caster variable". This has been discussed many times and I think the answer is still "no, not within normal use".

However, the Forum members are a very clever lot and many suggestions have been ventured and may suit your current needs.

I would hazard a guess that this may be something that might be considered for a future release.

Thanks Tony for Respond on my post,
I have researched and found some trick to Append current date and time with Report Caster file output name like to create a temporary field and use as first BY field with NOPRINT Statement (like Burst Field). and i got my desired result.
But the same time, I need to achieve bursting functionality also. And currently I am struggling with this only.
Is there any another way to do the same.

Thanks,
Neelima

Hi,

You should use Wildcard Characters in burst value in the distribution list.

Hi Neelima,

I have succesfully achieved this by using a dynamic distribution list, as in the dynamic list you can also determine at run-time what the first part of your file name will be, so no problem to include a datetime stamp. It also provides more flexibility in bursting as you do not need to keep your distribution list up-to-date in ReportCaster.

You need to use wildcard search for burst value.
