DATAPORT export Filename

bogdangeorgescu

Hi All,

recently i encountered a problem witch for many here will seem fun
i am exporting a file with a dataport on a scheduler and i need the name of the file to be the 'sysdate' unfortunately my programming skills are absent:) so i will have to use the filename function in the properties of the dataport.
can anyone help me on this? an example on how the file name should look like in order to be exported like this: C:\Users\bogdan.georgescu\'sysdate'.txt

You can try in your code to write:

CurrDataport.FILENAME := 'c:\' + FORMAT(TODAY,0,'<Day,2>-<Month,2>-<Year>') + '.txt';

The result will be c:\27-10-09.txt

So in some setup table (maybe user setup) add a field for the folder path, and lookup the help for the format function or use DATE2DMY to get the date info and construct the exact filename you need..
