Title: Putting a Character Field into an Attachment Field

** Hi Roy   You could try using the Log to File filter action – I think it logs all values in the transaction.  You might be able to manipulate it to get what you want. To reduce the contents of the log file to the field you want only, perhaps you could use a filter to push the value of this field to a single field on a display-only form, then run the log-to-file filter on the DO form.  You’ll need to delete the log file after the transaction as I think subsequent logs are appended.   HTH   David Sanders Remedy Solution Architect Enterprise Service Suite @ Work ========================== ARS List Award Winner 2005 Best 3rd party Remedy Application   tel +44 1494 468980 mobile +44 7710 377761 email [EMAIL PROTECTED]   web http://www.westoverconsulting.co.uk   From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Ashcraft, Roy W. Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 8:34 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Putting a Character Field into an Attachment Field   Racking my brain here, fruitless, I know. On submit/modify of a record, I need to take the contents of a long character field on the current record (transactional value) and place them into an attachment field as a text file, in filter actions, preferably. In active links, using the Open Window action, you can report to file, however, this will generate a report of the db values of the field, not the current transactional values. Will this require an external script, or is there something that can be done with Remedy workflow to accomplish this? Server is Win2k3, ARS v6.3 patch 17. Database is SQL 2k SP4. Any ideas would be appreciated.
