Hi All,

I was trying to generate file name as #filename#_#timestamp#.

I was generating timestamp in sequence using command as
date '+%y%m%d:%H:%M:%S'

while running sequence job is getting aborted and error is
When processing argument -fileWhen processing path: /home/xxxx/xxx/file_100908:14:58:00 .dat is not a valid path name

i tried removing ":" from timestamp but it was saying "controller problem code =-4 "
Then i tried passing timestamp using Erreplace(timestamp,@FM," ")
but still error is coming...

Any suggestions please...

Thank you

Dont add space to the timestamp. Try this

Code: Select all

Erreplace(timestamp,@FM,"") 

Hi anbu ,

Thaks for reply ..i did tried that option but still error persists..

Thnak you

Can you post the pathname in this run?

full file name is

#working_dir#/#param_DataFilename#_#Param_timestamp#.dat


param_timestamp is what iam trying to get from sequence..

Can you post the value of filename from director?

Did you get the same error message after the erreplace change?

yes anbu ,

But i tried changing the datatype of timestamp param to string in job parameters and it worked...

Do we should have a datatype of string for timestamp value??

I was unable to sort why does error came and why does error gone??

thank you..

Timestamp data type is not available for the job parameter. You have to pass date and time separately or as a string
