chuan_214

Dear All,

I using the following method to create a txt file on my pc, they are:
Varible
==============================================
Name DataType Subtype
XMLTest XMLport Export Return Tab File
varXmlFile File
varOutputStream OutStream

Coding

varXmlFile.CREATE('D:\Test\Output.txt');
varXmlFile.CREATEOUTSTREAM(varOutputStream);
XMLPORT.EXPORT(XMLPORT::"Export Return Tab File", varOutputStream);
varXmlFile.CLOSE;


However, when i run the coding, it prompt such as error， please refer to image attach.

Thanks for your help.

The file will be created on the Service Tier server, not on your PC. Check if the directory "D:\Test" exists on the server.

Hi

You can use .net to write directly to your host.

Look at http://www.dynamics.is/?p=1405 for examples.

Or use the functions in codeunit 419 to download the file to the client:

txtTempFilename := cdu3TierMgt.ServerTempFileName('output','txt');
  filOutput.CREATE(txtTempFilename);
  filOutput.CREATEOUTSTREAM(lOutStream);
  XMLPORT.EXPORT(XMLPORT::"Your XMLPort", lOutStream);
  filOutput.CLOSE;
  cdu3TierMgt.DownloadToFile(txtTempFilename, 'D:\Test\output.txt');
