Not really, unless you can show us how the v_... variables and the ReportText variable get their values. DSLogWarn requires two arguments. There's no value trying to close a file if you failed to open it.
The variable "t.fvar" is what's called a "file variable" or "file handle" - effectively a pointer to a structure that all other I/O statements must use.

Please enclose your code in Code tags as follows to preserve indenting.

Code: Select all

Openpath v_logFolder to t.fvar Then 
   Write ReportText to t.fvar, v_JobreportFileName Else 
      Call DSLogWarn("Failed to write file ":v_JobreportFileName, "MyRoutine") 
   End 
   Close t.fvar 
End 
Else 
   Call DSLogWarn("Failed to open directory ", "MyRoutine") 
End
