[SOLVED] how to trace the run time and date of fex file in webfocus
I have to design a date module which can track the run time and date of a feed file in webfocus. Is there any way with which we can do it in webfocus? I need the date module for different reports which are updated by running feed files. I need to compare the current date and the date when the feed file has ran and then display the date accordingly. Please help me with it. Frowner

Is the feed file just used as an input file to FEXs that generate reports?

yes! Very correctly guessed!
The feed file forms the input for the fex file which generates the reports! Smiler

If I'm correctly understanding how your processes are set up, you should be able to track the date and time with functions like &DATE and &TOD respectively in your FEX that generates the feed file.

Just a thought to add to this: If you need time time during a fex, you can use something like this "-SET &ThisTime = HHMMSS(&TOD) ;"...
