To anyone out there?!
I am working on an interface exporting data from RBASE 6.1 as an
ASCII delimited file to a 3rd party app. The 3rd party app requires the
filename contain an 18 character name with a 3 character extension.
The 3rd party app requires I use the system date as the unique ID
for the last 6 characters of the filename. I can not figure out how to
precede my 6 character filename with the 12 additional characters
(CSD1INVOICE_).
Once the job is complete I will have created an ASCII delimited file
using the name CSD1INVOICE_######.DAT where ###### is the current date of
the export (unique ID) out of RBASE.
Any ideas how I might achieve a rename from short to long from RBASE
or DOS batch? I have tried XCOPY in a DOS batch file but that seems to work
only if I append the 12 additional characters. Unfortunately I need them to
precede the RBASE output filename. This is the last step in the design and
must be automated for the user.
Thanks,
