     In define printers for the Windows version of filePro 5.0.14 running on Windows 7 (no Unix involved), in Define Printers, is there any way to create a unique output file name based on %TIME% or some other Windows system variable?

                   ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐           5.0.14DN9
