Hi All,

When I run the following code ...

SET EXCELSERVURL = ''
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS E01 FORMAT XLSX
END
-RUN


I get a dialog box asking me to Open/Save/Cancel my file. The file name is E01_20180912_110744.xlsx

Where does the Time Stamp in the name come from? Can this be changed?

Thanks

I just ran your fex in 8203 and it automatically opened Excel and named the file E01.xlsx.

I just ran your fex in 8202M Gen 60 and it prompted me to open E01.xlsx.

What is it that you are expected E01 to be? If you want it to be the literal of E01, then enclose it in single quote.

I'm thinking that it's trying to the field alias of E01 as weird as that would be.

I want to name the file with only the date at the end but not the time. If I do this ...

SET EXCELSERVURL = ''
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS XYZ_&YYMD.EVAL FORMAT XLSX
END
-RUN


I get ... xyz_20180912_20180912_121709.xlsx

Under 8201M gen 240 with
SET EXCELSERVURL = ''
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS E01 FORMAT XLSX
END
-RUN

It result in an Open/Save/Cancel confirmation of E01.xlsx

With
SET EXCELSERVURL = ''
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX
END
-RUN

It result in an Open/Save/Cancel confirmation of "fexname"_"date"_"time".xlsx

With
SET EXCELSERVURL = ''
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS E01_&YYMD.EVAL FORMAT XLSX
END
-RUN

It result in an Open/Save/Cancel confirmation of e01_20180912.xlsx

gen 193 was my previous gen two weeks ago.

Maybe you should upgrade to gen240. Slight easy. Few click only and takes about 30-45 minutes to perform the client and AS upgrade.

But you may also have something else setup differently somewhere that cause this.

Are you running this fex from an HTML Composer launch page?

I'm running it in App Studio. It does the same via an HTML launch page.

The behavior I'm observing is that if I run the report from a Composer generated HTML page, it automatically appends date and time to the name of the fex. I've no idea how it does that. However, if I just run the report from app studio without composer, I get a generic name no date and time appended. I think if you open a case with IB Tech support they'll be able to explain what's going on. When you get an answer please share your findings here so we know.
