Use a variable in an export path

[Josh Reader]

Hi Chris,



When I save the output processing I get no errors.  When I run the export
via D-Request Output I get an error there is no such file or directory when
I run it.  Here is the error I was getting:



On File: /appl/user_exports/users/'nm'/filepro/export.txt



Output Processing

Line Number: 19



export ascii file=(fn) r=\n f=|



I changed the fn variable to user the braces like you mentioned and I get
the same error message only the on file includes the braces:



On File: /appl/user_exports/users/'{nm{'/filepro/export.txt





Thanks for responding,

Josh





Josh,



Please explain, "it's not working"? Are you receiving an error?



I am not familiar with CentOS, but shouldn't the syntax be as follows?



fn="/appl/user_exports/users/'{nm{'/filepro/export.txt"



Notice the brackets around variable NM.

Hi All,





I have an export where I'm setting the export path.  Currently I am

hard-coding the path for each user that needs to access the export so it

goes to their user folder on our windows server.   filePro is installed on

CentOS 6.2.  I can get the name of each user using a variable in filePro but

I don't know how to insert the variable into the path.  Below is a sample of

how I've tried it but it's not working.  nm is the variable that holds the

user's full name and fn is the variable being used for the file name.





fn="/appl/user_exports/users/'nm'/filepro/export.txt"







openit subroutine:



export ascii file=(fn) r=\n f=|





Thanks,
