(1) By which system/protocol (e.g. smtp, ftp) is the file transmitted to
your application at present time?
(2) Does the transmission/file arrive within a consistent time range,
and/or reliably by a given time of day?

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Capture a file Name possible
Hi, Tony ,
Thanks for the speedy reply , but there will be only one
PAYMENTS....csv file each day, and I would like to get the file name
without having the operator to choose it.
If I could get the name in a var, I could parse the date and capture
the date.
Thanks,
Jim

If the filename does not have always the same length, you can use a
procedure like this
-- capture the file name using procedure of Tony Luck
SET VAR vfile = 'PAYMENTS_637467300105556434-20210120-030011.csv'
-- (SLOCP(TextNoteVarcharValue,string,occurrence))
-- assuming '-' is always used in the filename
-- locate startposition
SET VAR V_STARTPOSITION = ( (SLOCP(.vfile ,'-',1)) + 1)
-- (SGET(text,nchar,pos))
-- get datevalue as a textvalue
SET VAR V_PAYMENTDATE_TXT TEXT = (SGET(.vfile ,8,.V_STARTPOSITION) )
-- (RDATE(mon,day,yr))
-- convert text value to a date value
SET VAR V_PAYMENTDATE DATE = (RDATE( (NINT(
(SGET(.V_PAYMENTDATE_TXT,2,5)) )), (NINT(
(SGET(.V_PAYMENTDATE_TXT,2,7)) )), (NINT(
(SGET(.V_PAYMENTDATE_TXT,4,1)) )) ))

There's a few ways to achieve that, here's one I use to capture the
file name of a file we import twice daily using a CHOOSE statement
that popups up the files for the operator.
CHOOSE vfile FROM #LFILES IN &vdirfile TITLE 'Press ESC to Exit' +
CAPTION 'Am Data Import File' OPTION LIST_FONT_SIZE 12 +
TITLE_FONT_SIZE 12 | TITLE_FONT_COLOR BLUE
From there, if the file name always places the date in the same spot
you can use SGET function to extract it.
P.S. I use an ampersand variable to store the network directory the
file is loaded to.

Hello, Group:
I have an application where the operator will be receiving a CSV
'payments' file each day and the file has a rather long file name.
Sample file name:
PAYMENTS_637467300105556434-20210120-030011.csv
Notice that the processing date (20210720) is buried inside the file
name.
Is it possible within RBASE to programmatically capture the file name
in a variable so that I can interrogate the variable to obtain the
processing date ?
Thanks,
Jim
