Have you looked at the Dataset fanout option? i don't have access to the geodatabase format on this machine, but I think it should work for you. Might be a bit of work applying that variable to all of your features, but... http://www.safe.com/support/demos/index.php#dataset_fanout <http://www.safe.com/support/demos/index.php#dataset_fanout> Jason

One of the Oracle tables contains a time stamp when the tables were last processed. I convert this timestamp to a Year/day of year (YYDDD) using the DateFormatter. The problem - how do I get the GEODATABASE_MDB writer to include the YYDDD as part of the filename. For example, I would like the filename to be C:\EDITS\Edit03043.mdb where 06043 is the YYDDD. I can set the filename on the command line when I run the script but that defeats my purpose. I've tried setting a Global variable and putting an @GlobalVariable as the destination filename but that created a file named @GlobalVariable(FileStamp) - not what I wanted. Any suggestion. Bob L.
