Developing Reporting Applications > Managing Applications > Output Redirection Commands "APP FI[LEDEF] - The APP FI[LEDEF] command has been deprecated and aliased to FILEDEF. For information, see the Stored Procedure Reference." - v7.7.03. Also, I've never seen double quotes used in an APP command. Francis  Give me code, or give me retirement.

Nothing like deprecations! Changing it to FILEDEF worked perfectly -- Thank you Francis -- the reason for the double quotation marks is that the variable assignment has spaces --- Vivian Perlmutter Aviter, Inc.

Glad it worked out! I'll be checking my code and preempt the deprecation. Francis Give me code, or give me retirement.
