Hi,
I'd like to schedule monthly reports that have different names (best would be the report date in the file name) or at least don't override each other, in order to keep all monthly reports in folder.
Maybe I am missing something, but I just can't see how this would be possible, except manually.
Thanks for your help,
Pascal

Jet Reports Historic Posts Official comment Hi Pascal,
Jet Reports has a couple of tags that may be used in the output file name:
%YEAR%
%MONTH%
%DAY%
%HOUR%
%MINUTE%
E.g. C:\Output\Customer list %YEAR% %MONTH% %DAY%
These tags will be replaced by actual values when the report is saved by the scheduler.
Does this work for you? -

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hi
What is a result of the syntax?
A file with a name like: "Customer list 20120727"?
In this case it is not possible to run Scheduler over a directory with more reports. Or is it possible?
Thank you

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hi Tomas,
The output of using "Customer List %YEAR% %MONTH% %DAY%" would be "Customer List 2012 07 27" I believe (not sure about 07 or just 7). This would be the name of the folder to which all the reports run will be saved. I'm not sure I really understand your question. You can certainly use the scheduler to run all reports in a folder and output them to another folder. The original question was whether you could make it so each time the reports are run, they are output to a different folder (with the date in the folder name or filename) so that each run doesn't overwrite the previous ones. Does that make sense?

Hughes
