Follow this very simple example below to understand the technique:

SET VAR vUserDesktop TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vUserDesktop = ('C:\Users\'+(CVAL('NetUser'))+'\Desktop\')
If you wish to output the file into an existing folder on user's
desktop, then add that folder name at the end of "vUserDesktop"
variable.
SET VAR vUserDesktop = (.vUserDesktop+'Exact_Folder_Name\')
-- Step 02
-- Create the output file name, for example ...
-- Example ...
SET VAR vOutputFileName TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vOutputFileName = (.vUserDesktop+'filename.txt')
-- Step 03
-- Now use the traditional R:BASE OUTPUT command as follows:
-- Example ...
OUTPUT &vOutputFileName
WRITE 'My first test to send output to desktop ...'
OUTPUT SCREEN
CLEAR VARIABLES vUserDesktop,vOutputFileName
RETURN
Notice the "filename.txt" file on Windows logged-in user's desktop
or in that specific folder name on user's desktop, if defined.
Once you understand the concept of this simple, step-by-step exercise,
you should be able to define and concatenate all those variables
dynamically to accomplish your goal.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
