Hi All,

I am facing a weird issue with output filename for EXL2K format report. By default, EXL2K report generates with a temporary filename (like: abcdef.xls). I have to change this temporary filename with another string (like: car_sale.xls).

To achieve this, I have used below line in my code. 
 ON TABLE PCHOLD AS 'car_sale' FORMAT EXL2K


The above code is working fine, when I execute report via App Studio tool (WebFocus ver 8.105M), but it does not work, when I execute report from a HTML Ad Hoc web page.

Please suggests, what changes should i made in my code.

Thanks in advance.


Regards,
Sandy

I don't have 8.1 anymore but in 8.201 this generates CAR_SALE_20171027_071327.xls.

Have you tried format EXL07?

Same with 8.1.05 (Gen 939):
car_sales_20171027_020007.xls

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS 'car_sales' FORMAT EXL2K
END


Regards. Mikel.

Sandy,

This may have to do with your redirection settings in your configuration console. Can let us know how excel files are configured?
