Does your variable "name" appear on the layout where you execute the

Subject: variable dilemma
I have set a variable script that refuses to work if anyone has an idea
where the scripting is wrong then I'd appreciate any input.
Set Variable ($data; (Value:Get(FileName)&"_"&main::name)
Exports Records (No dialog;"$data.xls", Unicode(UTF-16)
'main::name' field is just a text field with a name in it.
The exported file just reads $data.xls rather than for example
"Main_John" which is what the 'name' (text) field reads on the screen .
any help appreciated. I have done other variable scripts when saving
files but this one just seems to be wrong somewhere.
