[CLOSED] System variable for Report Title (not just filename)?

I see &FOCFEXNAME, &FOCFOCEXEC, and &FOCINCLUDE, but I can't find any variables that display the actual report title (e.g. "Report001 - Miscellaneous Expenses") - all I can get is "Report001_Miscellaneous_Expenses" - or perhaps "Report001 Miscellaneous Expenses" - but that still leaves out the important dash.

Is there some other way to problematically determine the report title? We'd like to include this in our report template.

Thanks,

Tyler Schwartz

Then break up that string and rebuild it with the '-' added in a &RPTITLE_2 variable which you'll display in the heading.

There seems to be no way to programatically do this, without knowing where to manually re-add the special characters (obviously it's easy to replace underscores with spaces, but not the special characters unless you know where to restore them)

I cannot get to a terminal to test anything but I believe there is a way to accomplish your objectives.
