Dataport Export On Desktop

Katashiki · 2010-04-21

Hi there,

On the dataport properties i have set the filename to C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop\test.csv but it cannot find the directory. I want the file to be created on the desktop of the user that is running the dataport.

I've tried with several ways but couldnt find anything. Anybody has an idea?

Thanks a lot.

Do you get an error message or do you just don't see/find the file on your desktop?

I get a message that indicates that the operating system cannot find the directory specified.

I think Nav does not understande %username%.

If you manually enter the path then put the username otherwise make the path using
ENVIRON('USERNAME') or some other function.

You cannot put a viarable name in the properties. So "%username%" cannot be used.

In the OnInitDataport, you can put

CurrDataport.Filename(STRUBSTNO('C:\Documents and Settings\%1\Desktop\test.csv',USERNAME));

No success. I'll have to go with C:/test.csv

Thanks anyway

Can you show us how and where you set the filename?

In the filename of the dataport properties.

Don't do that. =;

Some administrators, will not give write access to c:\.

Put some code on the trigger to set the filename.

Howdy, Stranger!
