Hi,

We have webfocus installed on the Unix server.

Is it possible to save the a excel report generated by fex in the same UNIX server.

Can anybody provide me with an example?

Thanks in advance

Yes, its possible to save the output to a location on unix.

There are a couple of ways.

You could use FILEDEF {ddname} to point to a location and HOLD the report to that DDNAME, or just HOLD it, and use a UNIX command to copy it.

There are other ways as well.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a Unix environment so the code below may not work "as is" but can give you an idea using Waz's suggestion.

Assuming you want to create a file called myreport.xls in /home/data directory:

APP MAP data /home/data
FILEDEF MYREPORT DISK data/myreport.xls
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR AND MODEL AND SEATS
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYREPORT FORMAT EXL2K
END
-RUN


If the above runs without any errors, you should be able to see /home/data/myreport.xls with the content of your report.

You can also use APP HOLD to hold it under any of the application folders.

For example.
APP HOLD IBISAMP
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
COUNTRY
SALES
ON TABLE HOLD AS SAMPLE_EXCEL FORMAT EXL07
END
-RUN

File sample_excel.xlsx will be created under $IBI_HOME/apps/ibsamp/ folder.

Note file name will be in lower case though you mention it in upper case in code. Care to be taken while using OS commands.

Thanks,
Ram
