Generate a new DISC TEXT file name with every run

[Richard Witkopp]

Sure, just define a logical using the report name. Easy to do in a command procedure, otherwise look into executing an operating system command from inside the Powerhoose environment. Although iirc that doesn't work so well, because the DEFINE would take place at a different "level" than the program would be operating in.

Subject: Generate a new DISC TEXT file name with every run

Hi,
       Is there a way of having the system generate a new Text file name with every run of a report.

Eg:

Set report device disc name TESTNAME  plus < SYSDATE>                    ; File name  TESTNAME-20030401.txt

In that way the first text file will not be overwritten when  the report runs automatically every day. Or
is there a way of doing this with COPY or RENAME also.

OPENVMS 8.3
POWERHOUSE  8.40G

Thanks in advance.
