Environment variable file name macro bug

Post by omowebo »

Hi,

here is my problem :

- I set the File Name parameter in the Save section to environment variable (%[Env:filename1]).
- Programmatically from my program (ESRI ArcView3.2), I set the env. var. "filename1" to a value, then the next code line launches the printjob : all goes well, the value is taken into account.
- I launch the same code again, this time setting "filename1" to a new value, and print ; the problem is that the driver doesn't recognize the new value and sticks to the original one, thus trying to overwrite the previously saved file. I launch the code times and times again, no difference, so it isn't a "system refresh" issue.

I use version 4.0 build 0147

The problem is because pdfSaver uses environment variables which set when it was launched, and later changes are actual only for new applications, not for those already executed.

Will try to fix in build 151.
