Replace existing text file

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum
1

I designed a dataport which exports part of the Cust. Ledger Entry table. The report should be run from within the Navision Scheduler. The problem I am facing is that Navision asks me if I want to replace the existing file. Is there a way to prevent this message? I can’t find it in the dataports’ properties.

Try to use command ERASE(filename) before assigning CURRDATAPORT.FILENAME…

maybe with IF ERASE(filename) then; or IF EXIST(filename) then ERASE(filename); otherwise you will get an runtime error if the file does not exist and ERASE tries to erase it.

Thanks very much guys! Navision makes my work every day easier thanks to you! [:)] I think this forum is the best thing ever invented (exept for progressive rock). [:D]

Although the problem is already solved, I think the most simple way would be to do CurrFile.QUERYREPLACE(FALSE); in OnInitDataport or OnPreDataport. It should make the Dataport not ask before replacing the file AND is more logical - in my opinion.

Hi Nelson, I agree; it’s clear that there are more roads that lead to Rome (as we say in The Netherlands), but your road is the best! Thanks!

Then you also know what they say: When in Rome, be a Roman… [:D][:D]
