Logical name for report in QUIZ

Hmmm..   I tried it and it worked for me
I defined
Def xx fred.txt
QUIZ
define yy char*3 = "432"
set report device disc name xx
report all
go

and it created fred.txt

I also 
define variable fred2.txt
QUIZ
define yy char*3 = "342"
set report name variable
report all
go

and it created fred2.txt

I also tried it with
define variable <username>report1

and it created <username>report1.txt

The only thing that I can think of is that you are defining the logical in a
subprocess and running QUIZ in another, perhaps.  In that case, just add the
/JOB option to the define so all the subprocesses will see the define.

Subject: Logical name for report in QUIZ


Hi to all,

We want to set up report names using logical names in QUIZ.

First we define a variable that is the LOGIN ID + reportname

And then use this line of code:

SET REPORT NAME VARIABLE

The proble is that we we execute the report, QUIZ save the report on the
drive as VARIABLE.TXT

Does anyone know of a solution in QUIZ to use logical names for reports

We are on OpenVMS 7.3 and Powerhouse 8.30Z1

Thanks!
