Hi,

I would like to save a graph to a file. The filename should include the actual date. How can I do that?

Here is my acutal procedure:

DEFINE FILE MAX001DB
-* DEFINE BEGIN DATEOUT
DATEOUT/DMYY = HDATE(MAX001DB.SEG01.DATUM , 'DMYYYY');
-* DEFINE END DATEOUT
END
APP ENABLE
APP HOLD maxx
GRAPH FILE MAX001DB
SUM MAX001DB.SEG01.A AS 'A'
MAX001DB.SEG01.B AS 'B'
...
ACROSS DATEOUT AS ''
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBRSTK1
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
...
setSeriesType(0,1);
setSeriesType(1,1);
setSeriesType(2,1);
...
ENDSTYLE
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
ENDSTYLE
ON GRAPH HOLD AS graph01 FORMAT PNG
END
-* End Graph Assistant

Before your define command, do this:
-SET &GFN = 'baseapp/graph_name_' || &YYMD || '.png';
FILEDEF graph01 DISK &GFN


You can obviously use any directory application name or graph name you want.

Since DATE is your GRAPH ACROSS field, you will most likely have more than one date, so I can't see how the graph file name can include the date.

Here's an example of how the name of the graph file can include the first date found in the file:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;
SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY
-RUN

DEFINE FILE GGSALES
DATE1/YYMD = DATE;
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM DATE 
BY LOWEST 1 DATE NOPRINT
WHERE DATE1 FROM '1996/01/01' TO '1996/12/31'
ON TABLE SAVE AS H001
END
-RUN
-READ H001 &DATE.A8.

APP ENABLE
APP HOLD DEMO
-RUN

FILEDEF GRAPH01 DISK DEMO/GRAPH01_&DATE...PNG
-RUN

GRAPH FILE GGSALES
SUM
UNITS
ACROSS DATE1
WHERE DATE1 FROM '1996/01/01' TO '1996/12/31'
ON TABLE HOLD AS GRAPH01 FORMAT PNG
END

Thank You! This works!
Is it possible to get the date in this format:
YY-M-D e.g. 2007-24-09 ?

-SET &GFN = 'BASEAPP/GRAPH_NAME_' || EDIT(&YYMD,'9999-99-99') || '.PNG';

-TYPE &GFN
