Hi Charles,
I think you're going to have to parse the string produced by (ctxt(.#date))
to strip out the "/" which won't work in a file name. So you want something
like:
SET VAR vNewDir TEXT = (CTXT(.#DATE))
SET VAR vNewDir = (SGET(vNewDir,2,1)) + (SGET(vNewDir,2,4)) +
(SGET(vNewDir,4,7))
SET VAR vNewDir = ('g:\' + .vNewDir + (CTXT(.vCount)))
You may want to pad .vCount with leading zeros or reverse the SGET order to
put the year first, month second, etc.
