Is there a way you can have an ods pdf file be named with the value of a variable.  For example, if have a field with a course number (ENGL.1301.87, ENGL.1301.88, ENGL.1301.89, etc.), can I make my file name be the corresponding record in the course number variable?  If so, how?  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I don't understand if you want name PDF file at running ODS PDF FILE=.. , you can try CALL EXECUTE .

If you want rename PDF file after they are already created , then check function RENAME() .

Are you creating and output file for each record of a dataset? Or are you wanting to direct all of like records to the same document?
