Hi JD, I am not sure about the text file writer .... But I'd try the dataset fanout :-)

Good afternoon, I have an instance of Workbench with 7 Text file (.txt) Destination Datasets. All of these .txt files will have the same path and name, except for their file extension (such as Roads.X1, Roads.X2, Roads.X3, etc.). I want to be able to specify the path/name only once (at runtime in the translation parameters), and Workbench to then take this path/name and add the appropriate file extension. This is primarily for ease of use, so the user doesn't need to enter nearly identical information 7 separate times. In Workbench I can easily concatenate the path/name and the appropriate extension, but I can't find a way to set the text file's location to this concatenated string. I made the concatenated string a published parameter, so I could specify this string to be the path/name/extension for the Destination text files (using "Set to published parameter" for each Destination Dataset in the Navigator window). Unfortunately, "Set to published parameter" doesn't list my published parameter as an option. Has anyone dealt with this before? Regards, J.D. Leach U.S. Census Bureau
