Date variable in Dataport

mfh

Hello,

The user who runs an export dataport should be able to enter a specific date (YYYYMMDD) before exporting. I want to put this date in a Text variable StartDate, which is one of the dataport fields to be exported.
However, if I add the field to the request form, the standard Path and Export/Import fields on the options tab seem to have dissapeared!

Is there a possibility to enter this variable date on running the report somewhere else?

Regards,
Michiel

Hi mfh

If I remeber correctly put the filename control on the request form with id 1

Create a Variable called FileName text 250

On the request form add a textbox with the datasource as FileName, this control must be control ID = 1, then set the property to AssisEdit = yes

Dataport - OnPreDataport()
IF FileName = '' THEN
   ERROR('Please Enter a Valid File Name');

CurrDataport.FILENAME := FileName;
