I'm using WebFOCUS 4.3.6 and trying to set the output filename of a report emailed via Report Caster. Currently, all the emailed report files have the same name (e.g. hold.xls, hold.pdf,etc.). The report caster tool does not have that option. Is it possible to do that through the report code ?
Don't know if you want this kind of solution, but one thing you could do is manipulate the data in the table BOTTASK. You can use SQL Passthrough or some other method to set the value of "ASVALUE".
Also, I don't know if this is available in your version. But you might want to take a look.
Hi jodye, We use WebFOCUS 4.3.6 and I would like to try your suggestion, but I am new to WebFOCUS and not familiar with this technique. Can you please explain with sample code ?
I asked IBI exactly that question last week. Yes and no. I have a case open about this. It is a new feature request. So there is no easy way to do it.
However... I am accomplishing exactly this by doing it in SQL Server with a Package that runs every midnight and updates "ASVALUE" field in BOTTASK to today's date (FILENAME_YYYYMMDD.XLS). We have many work arounds like that.
bchinnap, you need to look at the caster repository. Look at the table called BOTTASK. Do you have a field called "asvalue"? If not, and you don't have the option for "save report as" in your version then perhaps there is no way to do it.
