Not able to create expression for suffix in automation script (4244906)

Not able to create expression for suffix in automation script

Since updating to Toad Data Point 4.2, there is no longer the ability to edit the Suffix in any automation scripts.  There used to be a window that could be opened that would allow users to create expressions to include in the suffix.  There are only three default values to choose from.

The export dialog was changed in TDP 4.2 and this got left out.

WORKAROUND:
If the script was built in TDP 4.1, we will honor the expression as the suffix. If a new one needs to be built, the expression builder is available in the variable activity. Make a variable that builds the suffix expression and then add the variable in the path name.

a = To_char(Current_date(), 'YYYY-DD-MM') C:\Users\username\Documents\ToadExport_#a#.xlsx

STATUS:
This issue is fixed in Toad Data Point 5.0. This version can be downloaded from the downloads section of our website, which you can access by clicking here.
