Please update your profile signature with your product, release and platform so that we can better help you.

Try running with -SET &ECHO=ON; to see the expanded version of the filedef.

Check the permissions on the directory.

What is the size of the file?

Using two dots after an & variable means that you are concatenating strings.
So in your case &REP..PDF translates to 'reportPDF', assuming that &REP contains the string 'report'.
When you add an extra dot (&REP...PDF) it will translate to 'report.PDF' which is a valid filename.
This may be the cause of your problem.

Hope this helps ...

GamP is right,

One dot is an indexes variable
Two dots is like a concatenate or placing two variables next to each other with out a space inbetween.
The third dot is just text.
