Writing data to log file

[Former Member]

Is it possible to write data to a log (text) file from within Crystal Reports, possibly in a UFL? Is there a way that's already built in to CR?

Thanks.

Ido - thanks for the link. This will help.

Don,

Not exporting a report to a text file. More like logging report events. One of my report developers was thinking of maybe tracking the start/stop times of each publication per person as well as the full run time.

I hope I explained that correctly.

Thanks.

Thanks for the update and clarity... BOE 4.0 has this ability now but that's likely over kill for you...

Please mark as answered.

Hi Ron,

What is it you want to log? The functions CR is doing or simply export a report to a text file and rename it to *.log?

Thank you

Don

Yes. At least one of the UFLs listed at http://kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality.

Also, one of the Crystal viewers listed at that site can log report processing to a text file or to an ODBC table.
