Hi,

I am facing issue with special characters (comma and dot) while using to send email.
This is my sample code. I need to use the company name as file name which might contain special characters.
When I run the below code I am getting (FOC1562) EDAMAIL: FILE 'test.test' NOT FOUND

Can someone please provide solution?

-SET &fileName = 'test.test';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS '&fileName' FORMAT PDF
END
-RUN

EX EDAMAIL emailtest@gmail.com,,edamail test,A,PDF,'&fileName'

Thank You
Sandhya

1. Your error has nothing to do with special characters
2. NEVER use comma's in a file name
3. Does test.test look like a PDF file to you?
4. EDAMAIL "requires" the file to be stored, not just created in space...
5. SMTP Server has to be setup on the Reporting Server
6. emailtest@gmail.com is a valid address?

Try:
   
-SET &FILENAME = 'test.test.pdf';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS FOCCACHE/&FILENAME FORMAT PDF
END
-RUN

EX EDAMAIL emailtest@gmail.com,,edamail test,A,PDF, FOCCACHE/&FILENAME
-RUN

Yes, this solution is working.
Is there any way to handle single quote (')?

Thanks
Sandhya
