mark66Pass variable to Report Caster filename
Hi all,
I am wanting to use a live date in my Excel file that is generated via the Report Caster. I was hoping I could just reference it in the "Save Report As" section, for example:
Save Report As = "Orders &V_ORDER_DATE"
&V_ORDER_DATE is populated in my report fex, but the Excel file I receive is called "Orders &V_ORDER_DATE.xls"
We are running version 5.35.
I found this old thread that was asking pretty much the same thing, but thought I would create a new one as the original query was from January 2005:

Darin LeeThere have been a few more recent threads liek this as well, but still not a way to do it like you describe. You could, however, build a dynamic distribution list which would only have the burst values in it (could have one or many) and include a high-level BY (for order date) in the report. Then when RC runs the report and bursts it, it would include the burst value in the name of the file.
