Variant Issue?

Former Member — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:42:27 GMT

Hi, expert:

when I schedule a job.

In the variant, how to define file name format like test_yyyy_mm_dd.txt.

for example, if today 2009Jan12, file name automatically change to test_2009_01_12.txt

Thanks

You need to define two variables where as one is file name and the other one is date. Make the date field to today's date in variant decleration. Append these file names in your program.

In other words, under initialization event, concatenate 'Filename' sy-datum into selection screen parameter.

This will default to the selection screen but if you want to schedule the same for background you need to follow the first step.

Transaction FILE (cross-client)

- Define ZLOGPATH as logical path, and assign it to physical path "/tmp/<FILENAME>"

- Define ZLOGFILE as logical file name, based on logical path "ZLOGPATH" and with file name "filename_<YEAR>_<PARAM_1>"

The following call will set filename = '/tmp/costcenter_2009_JJJJ'

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
    EXPORTING 
      LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'ZLOGFILE'
      PARAMETER_1 = 'JJJJ'
    IMPORTING 
      FILE_NAME = filename.
