[SOLVED] Naming CSV or XLSX files in InfoAssist

What's the trick, if any, in Naming CSV or XLSX files in InfoAssist (Preferred) or App Studio?

Here's the results from Text Editing in App Studio, which is still not perfect:
-* Naming a CSV file results on 'WFServlet.csv'
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS 'My CSV File' FORMAT COMT
-* Naming a XLSX file results on 'my xlsx file': All lower case.
-*ON TABLE PCHOLD AS 'My XLSX File' FORMAT XLSX
Uncomment either of the PCHOLD lines and let me know your results if different than the AS 'Name' and what you did to accomplish that (Or a reference to a FM (FOCUS Manual)) Smiler.

What I'm looking for is the ability to use 'My CSV File' intead ot 'WFServlet' from iwthing the PCHOLD line in the fex.

I can change it to whatever I want in a RC Job.

So, this cannot be done, right?
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS 'MY_CSV_FILE' FORMAT COMT
as it will still use "WFServlet.csv" as the file name.

I don't see comt in the redirection settings so I doubt you can do it.

COMT format generates a .csv file which exist in Redirection Settings.

The following prompt me to save AAAAA file and I have both Redirect and Save Report set to Yes in redirection settings for .csv file
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS AAAAA FORMAT COMT
END
