How to forcly overwrite a file in the path?

Aravindh_Navision

Hi Friends,

I am running a dataport from form's menu button and I have defined the path there in the coding as like below.

REPEAT
          CLEAR(EInvDataport);
          CLEAR(EInvDataport1);
          EInvDataport.SETTABLEVIEW(SalesInvHeader1);
          EInvDataport1.SETTABLEVIEW(SalesInvHeader1);
          EInvDataport.FILENAME('C:\ARG\EInvoice\'+ FORMAT(WORKDATE,0,'Invoice_' + SalesInvHeader1."No." +
          '_<Day,2>' + '<Month,2>' + '<Year4>') + '.txt');
          EInvDataport1.FILENAME('C:\Program Files\PyAfipWs\' + FORMAT(Text001) + '.txt');
          EInvDataport.RUNMODAL;
          EInvDataport1.RUNMODAL;
        UNTIL SalesInvHeader1.NEXT = 0;

The code is executing successfully. My need is, suppose if the same file name is already existing in the path means, it should be forcly overwrite the file. Presently it is showing the message as the file already exists. (see attachment)

How to overwrite without getting this message? Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks in advance,
Aravindh R.

You can try with

IF EXISTS('C:\Program Files\PyAfipWs\' + FORMAT(Text001) + '.txt') THEN
    ERASE('C:\Program Files\PyAfipWs\' + FORMAT(Text001) + '.txt');

Before

EInvDataport1.FILENAME('C:\Program Files\PyAfipWs\' + FORMAT(Text001) + '.txt');

Welcome

make sure that my code deletes the already existing file..If you want you can rename or copy to separate folder also..

Yeah it is getting overwritten the existing file in the particular folder . Already I am storing the same file date-wise in different folder for reference purpose. Thank you once again Mohana.. =D>
