Hi, 

I'm trying to output a CSV file and the macro can't be resolved for some reasons it output the macro without resolving  

 

ods csvall file='R:Location\Adjudication Status Metrics_&date..csv';

Adjudication Status Metrics_&date.csv

The macro processor ignores literals inside of single quote characters. Use double quote characters instead.

ods csvall file="R:Location\Adjudication Status Metrics_&date..csv";

Also did you really mean to use a relative path on the R: drive instead of an absolute path?

 

ods csvall file="R:\Location\Adjudication Status Metrics_&date..csv";
