Ah! I see. I was hoping it was not hard-coded.
Fortunately I found a workaround by first writing the name in a temporary
file and then use {sys:cat name_temp.tmp} in the NAME section and for the
title problem I send in the custom attribute from the command line using
the -a switch.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Best Regards, Magnus
