conversion characters

When you specify filenames for options such as -filename-prefix, -log-file, -run-at-save, and -run-at-exit, you can include conversion characters that expand to the program name or to the process id (pid)

Quantify supports these conversion characters:

Character

Converts to

%V

Full pathname of the program with "/" replaced by "_"

%v

Program name

%p

Process ID (pid)

%T

Thread identifier

%t

Current time (hh:mm:ss)

%d

Current date (yymmdd)

%n

Sequence number, starting at 0. This value is incremented as each dataset is saved.

%b

Name of a /tmp file containing binary data

%s

Name of a /tmp file containing program summary

%x

Name of a /tmp file containing export data

Quantify expands conversion characters at run time to form uniquely named datasets.

If the filename is unqualified (does not contain "/"), Quantify writes it to the directory where the program resides. Qualified filenames can be absolute or relative to the current working directory. For example, if you specify the option

-log-file=./%v.qlog

Quantify writes the log file to the current working directory. If the program is called test, the log file is called ./test.qlog.
