Hi Chris What you try to do is to execute a function at mapping file parsing time, normaly FME would execute a function when a feature is going trough a factory.
So to tell fme to execute the function when the mapping file are parsed, you have to put the function within $[ .. ], in your case MACRO zFileName [EMAIL PROTECTED](ROOTNAME,$(SourceDataset_SHAPE_IN))] in the fme help/ documentation look for Static Function Evaulation Peter Laulund National survey and cadastre, denmark >From: "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [fme] Problem with @Filenamepart in mapping file >Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2005 15:12:21 -0000 > >Hello, > >I am having difficulty using the @Filenamepart function when setting >the macro zFileName: > >MACRO zFileName @Filenamepart(ROOTNAME,$(SourceDataset_SHAPE_IN)) > >It appears that the root name from $(SourceDataset_SHAPE_IN) is not >being read.
