I suppose this is in the same vein . Currently in DPSPOOL when creating a pdf file (e.g. an invoice document), I get prompted by the pdf program to name the file.
How can I make this automatic to take a field data from the report as the filename? Thanks for any help. Ed.

I do this in some of my reports. However you can't write to both files simultaneously. The report creates first one file and then the second. DP can only write to one file at a time. Set up the report options to create an output file named C:\NUL Also set the file format you want (Text or WP). Note that the file format will apply to both files the report creates. Then inside the report, you store in an RV the actual file name of the first file you want to create. (Make sure it conforms to the 8.3 file naming rules.) Then you have the 'Turn File Off' code, immediately followed by the 'Open Filename in RV' code, immediately followed by the 'Turn File On' code. That starts sending output to your file. --------------------Store Value in Report Variable 250 ------------------------ --------------------Turn File Off---------------------------------------------- --------------------Begin Writing to Filename in Report Variable 250 ---------- --------------------Turn File On----------------------------------------------- When you're ready to stop writing file 1 and begin writing file 2, do the above steps again (store filename in RV, 'Turn File Off', 'Open File in RV', 'Turn File On'). Of course, you have to structure your report so that you can process and output all of the info for file 1, and then process and output all of the info for file 2. Usually something like a couple of virtual subreports inside the main Report Body, with each virtual subreport being used to generate the output for one file. Tim Rude On 8/27/2014 9:42 AM, Juan A.
