Use of variable or system maintained field in config file printer definition?

[James Flanagan]

Filepro 5.7.00.09D4
FreeBSD 10.3

What I am trying to is something like the following so that printer’s output destination is controlled by the value of a variable.  Otherwise I would need to define a separate printer for each user, which is too unwieldily.  And yes, I realize, I could print to a single destination, such as /tmp and then use a system command to move the file with appropriate variable right afterwards (which is actually what I am doing now).  However, if possible, I would much prefer to be able to have the printer conditionally put the output directly where it is intended to go, all in a single step.  

Is this possible in Filepro?  The 2 examples below do NOT work and the variables are treated as actual values, and not what the variable represents.  

printer7=txt,nocodes,>/home/@id/report.txt

Or 

printer7=txt,nocodes,>home/$LOGNAME/report.txt

Thank you very much, in advance.
