Hello all,

What is the best way to archive ReportCaster reports? Is there a maximum number of reports that can be saved??

Tnanks to all!!

Just send them to the Report Library. Set the distribution method to Distribute Reports by Library in the Schedule setup.

You should then be able to set the number you want to archive with the Expire after settings. I'm not sure what the limits are, but you can have it keep a number of versions or time frame (days, months, years, etc.) of reports.

We're not using the Report Library feature, so I do a DOS COPY command before you rerun each day. Here's an example tha adds a date/time stamp to the filename:

-SET &GETTIME = HHMMSS('A09');
-SET &TIME = EDIT(&GETTIME ,'99$99$99');
-SET &DATETIME = &YYMD | &TIME |'.txt' ;
-TYPE Datetime is: &DATETIME
DOS COPY \\server\folder\yourfile.txt \\server\folder\&DATETIME
-RUN

Good Luck!
