Thanks Fred, that did the trick. I completely forgot about the LPAD
command. Must be getting old.

What kind of error are you getting using TIMESTAMP?
I have used the DAY, MONTH, and YEAR functions in set fields
before with no problems (Except having to use LPAD as well).
"Escalation_" + LPAD(YEAR($TIMESTAMP$),4,"2000") +
LPAD(MONTH($TIMESTAMP$),2,"00") + LPAD(DAY($TIMESTAMP$),2,"00") +
".log"

Yes, but it still does not get us to the YYYYMMDD format we
need. We can get DDMMYY at best so far.

Chris,
Have you tried replacing the invalid characters to
either null or an underscore or something?

Subject: Active Link Function in an Escalation???
Hello Fellow Listers,
Does anyone know a way to mimic the Active Link
functions within an Escalation?
I am trying to find a way to do the following to create
log entries, on a UNIX server, that have a unique timestamp. These logs
turn on and off every day. These logs are created via a SET FIELDS
action into the field 'escalationlogfile' on the "AR System
Administration: Server Information" form. We are able to turn the log on
and off at defined times.
Currently we are using "Escalation_" +
REPLACE(DATE($DATE$), "/", "")) + ".log" and it crates a log file
with the name "Escalation_102708.log"
However, we would like to name the file
Escalation_20081027.log so that it is in the format YYYYMMDD. We have
tried this command but it does not work.
"Escalation_" + YEAR($TIMESTAMP$)) + MONTH($TIMESTAMP$))
+ DAY($TIMESTAMP$) + ".log"
I can't use $TIMESTAMP$ and that is not a valid UNIX
file name, meaning the file name comes across as Escalation_10/27/288
12:00:00 PM.log,
which is not valid.
Any help would be appreciated.
