Hi Brychan,
Sorry for the late response but seem like your question just got missed.

Well you can use the simliar copy function to copy the file in a workingdir with a general name without date part and have a email task subesquently to pick this up.

Hi,

I was wondering is there anyway for corvu(5.1) then to email these reports, I far as I can see on the scheduler it requires a fixed filename.

Thanks

Consider using the ISO date format (in CorVu, IIRC, the format string is “@YYYYMMDD”). The “DD/MM/YYYY” format is ambiguous and can behave differently depending on the regional settings (in the US, for example, the system settings are usually set to the equivalent of “MM/DD/YYYY”, and that is how the date will be interpreted in the prompt). The ISO date format lacks this ambiguity so it will work regardless of the regional settings.

Brilliant little piece of info there Shariq - provides a nice bit of navigation that’s often lacking - will be embedding it into all our reports…

Many thanks for the comment, Mr Anon Bogus from Australia. I was thinking from a UK centric basis and I’d actually not recommend any ‘fixed’ format as it will depend company to company as mosty are not international. Anyway, an interesting point on how CorVu works internally and one can only embrace the software accounting for ISO’s. I do however think you have been slightly harsh in saying ‘what is meant by 070809?’ when CorVu’s own help example suggests the more meagre MMDD!

I would recommend using the format YYYYMMDD for the date string. It’s the ISO standard. It makes sorting work better. It’s less ambiguous (what is meant by 070809? There are 3 possible interpretations in common civil use worldwide). Also when entering date constants CorVu will check for an 8 digit string first and if it finds one will assume ISO, which can be important if deploying an app across regions where regional settings in the Windows registry might differ, giving another form of date constant a different meaning.
