Good Afternoon!

I need to build an outbound thread that will allow me to “queue” all of the transactions, and then write them out to a file once a day.

I also need the have the filename contain the name of the source thread, along with the date/time.

I’m not really sure where to start on this one, so I’m looking for some guidance.

Thanks!

  One way:
  
  OB Fileset/Local thread building one message per file (need a Outbound Tps Tcl proc – I have one if you need it).
  
  IB Fileset/Local thread to retrieve files built in the above OB thread – use advanced scheduling to schedule the run. Depending on criteria may need a DirParse proc here – I have that too.
  
  Route the IB thread above to a Fileset/Local OB thread which has an Outbound Tps Proc to set the filename as you need. I have one of those which might work.
  
  If you want any of the procs indicated that I have, email me.

  Jim –
  
  I appreciate the offer, and I’ll take it into consideration. However I was hoping to find a solution that would be “one and done”. There are already 6 other threads in this series, with this being the 7th. Adding 2 more is obviously undesirable, unless there is no other way.

  I have done this many times
  
  Set up a UPoC protocol in two modes, time and run
  
  In the run mode simply append the OB message to a file
  
  In the time mode, when triggered, move the file where you want it to be
  
  Not hard to do

  Charlie, do you have the tcl procs that you’d be willing to share with me to accomplish this? I’m new to tcl and CL.
  
  Thanks!

  I couldn’t find one right away so I threw one together to give you a flavor of what needs to be done. I did not test so there may be some fat finger errors
  
  Set up your OB thread for UPoC for both read and write. Put the same proc in both
  
  In the read mode, use advance scheduling, set the time when you want to move the file.
  
  Modify the proc for your needs
  
  Let me know if questions
