DSXchange

great it worked!!.. thanks

can it also create folders dynamically?

Can someone tell me where is the online help you are talking abt. in this thread 'mhester' has referred to online help. can you let me know what is the url ur referring to?

I have done it using Pathname and the problem still persists. the filename that is being generated is: TestDate_#DSJobStartDate#_#DSJobStartTime#.txt the macros are not being evaluated into values, and also i am not enclosing the above in any quotes. Can Ray.Wurlod or ariear comment on this, please ...

TestDate_#DSJobStartDate#_#DSJobStartTime#.txt

this is the filename that has been generated when I have used:
#SomeDefinedParam#_#DSJobStartDate#_#DSJobStartTime#


ariear, Can anyone tell me what is the proper syntax for this and also the proper 'Type' I should use for the job parameter.
