Hi All,

Firstly, I want to thank to all for handing me the solution for my WebFOCUS Query.

I have one other question Related with ReportCaster jobs. How can I add time-stamp to output file name.

Example:-
-* File MainFile.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
BY BURST_VALUE
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
BY CAR.CARREC.MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 100
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET SQUEEZE ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/ENIADefault_combine.sty,$
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT=&WF_TITLE.QUOTEDSTRING, SUMMARY=&WF_SUMMARY.QUOTEDSTRING, HFREEZE=OFF, $
ENDSTYLE
END

And When we will be scheduling the Job for above Report. We will receive file with MainFile.html name. But I need a ouptfile name like "MainReport_10_10_2014 7_07 PM.htm".


Please provide some solution for same.

Regards,
Neelima Gupta

Neelima,

Use the search option above to search on "report caster variable". This has been discussed many times and I think the answer is still "no, not within normal use".

However, the Forum members are a very clever lot and many suggestions have been ventured and may suit your current needs.

I would hazard a guess that this may be something that might be considered for a future release.

Thanks Tony for Respond on my post,
I have researched and found some trick to Append current date and time with Report Caster file output name like to create a temporary field and use as first BY field with NOPRINT Statement (like Burst Field). and i got my desired result.
But the same time, I need to achieve bursting functionality also. And currently I am struggling with this only.
Is there any another way to do the same.

Thanks,
Neelima

Hi,

You should use Wildcard Characters in burst value in the distribution list.

Thanks,

Hi Neelima,

I have succesfully achieved this by using a dynamic distribution list, as in the dynamic list you can also determine at run-time what the first part of your file name will be, so no problem to include a datetime stamp. It also provides more flexibility in bursting as you do not need to keep your distribution list up-to-date in ReportCaster.

Martin.
