Variable print file name

[Mike Schwartz]

How can I set the destination file to a variable name? 

In this case I have created an entry on printer maintenance screen called
Kentest.
Type is :fpml   Destination : PDF:/u/appl/fpmerge/ReportsFP/ xtest.pdf
That works fine.  But how can filepro create a variable file name in that
directly? 
Of course this is only from printer maintenance screen.

     I hope I correctly snipped all the code out of your HTML message.
(above).

     You're not telling us which version of filePro you are using, nor which
operating system (Unix, Windows, etcetera).  However, here is some code that
works for me to print a customer statement on filepro 5.7.03 running on Sco
Openserver 6.  The processing is attached to a form called statementPDF.
(That is the PDF version of an invoice form for one of my customers.) 

     You could write this as a subroutine and skip all the XG XH nonsense.
XA allows the billing clerks to name the output processing whatever they
want.  Statements get deleted within a few seconds, right after they are
emailed, so I'm not too worried  about duplicate PDF names.
