Logical name for report in QUIZ

[Murray Scholz]

Hello Etienne,

Allison's solution is what we would normally do too, but if you REALLY
want to set it from INSIDE the quiz, you could try....

access filename
define username char*12 = logonid
define reptname char*30 = "myreport_" + trunc(username) + ".txt"
define a1 char*1 = "Y" if setsystemval("aaa",reptname,logical)
set rep dev disc name aaa
report fieldname
go

This will create a file myreport_xxxxxx.txt for you...
