Can we not name COMT PCHOLD files anymore in WebFOCUS 8? Consider the following code:
-SET &OUTPUTFILE='CAR_DCOST_RCOST_REPORT_' | &YYMD;
-* CAR_DCOST_RCOST_REPORT_20140929
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DCOST RCOST
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS '&OUTPUTFILE' FORMAT COMT
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END
I was able to create "CAR_DCOST_RCOST_REPORT_20140929.csv", from the above code, in WebFOCUS 7. But not in WebFOCUS 8?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Doug,

Tom, I can save the report just fine. The issue is the default name provided in the "ON TABLE PCHOLD AS '&OUTPUTFILE' FORMAT COMT" statement. It comes up as "WFServlet.csv" not the value of &OUTPUTFILE. Even when I hardcode it as : "ON TABLE PCHOLD AS CAR_DCOST_RCOST_REPORT_20140929 FORMAT COMT"

Hi Doug, Yes, you are correct. Works with XLS, COMT is not even a selection on the Redirection screen. On 8.0.07, so, just another IBI oversight, I guess... Even tried with a APP FI and EDAGET, stores it OK, but opens with an IBI generated name... Tom
Works with your sample code from above. Might be a change of default setting between 7 and 8? - can't check for you as I don't have both at present, sorry.
