FileName and dataport

Hanen

Hi,

How can I automatically export data using dataport to an external file dynamically, I've tried something like that but

//Hardcode path to save output file.
FilePath := 'C:\';
FDate  := "G/L Entry".GETRANGEMIN("Posting Date");
FName := 'BanK+FORMAT(FDate,0,'<Month,2><Filler Character,0><Day,2><Filler Character,0><Year4>') +'.txt' ;
FileName := FilePath + FName;

Thanks for help.

Try

CurrDataport.FILENAME := FilePath + FName;

I wouldn't actually call that hardcoding by the way. Hardcoding would be something like

CurrDataport.FILENAME := 'C:\Filename.txt';

It didn't work

1. Did you get any error?
2. In what trigger do you put your code? - I put code like that in trigger: Dataport - OnPreDataport() and it works.
3. Check your string "FName"value in debugger.

regards,
Depro

I put it on the postdataport item, but it didn't work
Any suggestions?

The above post suggests On PREDataPort Not Postdataitem. Set the name first not after the dataport is already run.
