I can not get the '-INCLUDE TODAY' and 'IMAGE=LOGO.gif' to pull in when I run the following .fex

DEFINE FILE INVOICE
-INCLUDE TODAY
MONTH/M = INVDATE;
YEAR/YY = INVDATE;
CYEAR/YY = 2008;
PYEAR/YY = CYEAR - 1;
CMONTH/M = 12;
CYAMT/D12.2 = IF MONTH LE CMONTH
AND YEAR EQ CYEAR THEN ATOTAL ELSE 0;
PYAMT/D12.2 = IF MONTH LE CMONTH AND INVDATE LE TODAY - 365
AND YEAR EQ PYEAR THEN ATOTAL ELSE 0;

END
TABLE FILE INVOICE
HEADING CENTER
"REVENUE BY CUSTOMER"
SUM CYAMT AS '2008,Y-T-D,REVENUE'
PYAMT AS '2007,Y-T-D,REVENUE'
BY LOGACCT AS 'CODE'
ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING, IMAGE=LOGO.gif, POSITION=(7.0000 0.0000), $
ENDSTYLE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END

'TODAY' and 'LOGO' are in the same folder that the .fex is in. I have tried putting the path in the -INCLUDE statement but it did not help. I also tried adding a '-INCLUDE :logo.gif' at the bottom.

Thanks, Kent

That folder must be in the App Path on the server - I assume you're trying to schedule a fex on the WebFOCUS server and not in your Dev Studio local environment.

"I also tried adding a '-INCLUDE :logo.gif' at the bottom" - what do you mean? That won't work at all - it's invalid syntax.

The LOGO.gif file is referenced in our style sheet. We need to run it in Report Caster on the server.
The LOGO.gif is in the same folder as the .fex. The syntax for the '-INCLUDE :logo.gif' was in the Report Caster documentation. Please elaborate on what you mean by the App Path; does that mean the apps folder on the server.

APP PATH is the command in Drive:\ibi\srv76\wfs\etc\edasprof.prf.
Mine looks like this:

APP PATH eqp basel bcp brp ncr fmarian ibisamp baseapp

If you have access, you can browse the file, or even better, access the APP PATH by opening the WebFOCUS Server console 
http://your-server-name:8121/cgiatt.exe
and selecting Application Path from the My Console drop-down.

All my App folders are in Drive:\ibi\apps. But there are other app folders there that would not get searched by WebFOCUS because they're not in the APP PATH.

You can also issue the command 
? PATH
in any FEX to see the APP PATH.

Hope this helps.

You can also say:

-INCLUDE dirname/fexname
