Quiz question (.txt extension)

[Goparaju, Vidyasagar]

The only trick that really worked for me was to establish a symbolic link to quizlist.txt --> xxx.rpt
And delete the symbolic link after the report generation.
 
$ ln -s SAGAR.SAGAR quizlist.txt
$ quiz

Brian,

That's pretty much what we're doing already. Maybe the code snippets
below will clarify things a bit...

Job Script:
export mbar0023="$AMISYS_SPOOL/${AMISYS_JOBNUM}_mbar0023.rpt"
quiz << !EOQUIZ
USE $CQUIZ/mbar0023.qzc
EXIT
!EOQUIZ

Quiz Program:
SET REP LIM 2000000 NAME $mbar0023 DEV DISC

Output:
$ ls /aa/2/dev/jcl/spool/j405_mbar0023*
/aa/2/dev/jcl/spool/j405_mbar0023.rpt.txt

/pat

>>> "brian_matthewsbrian matthews" <brian_matthews_bmw@hotmail.com>

you could always try a setsystemval to create a variable
'QUIZREP'containing
the required file name and the then add the following to the quiz
report
'set report device disk name $QUIZREP'

regards Bri,
