Using Date Part and Counter Tokens in File Names

You can include counter and date part tokens in the file names you enter for a job. Tokens are variables that the application replaces with the current date or an incremental count when it exports the file.

NextGen® Background Business Processor supports the following date part tokens:

• {dd} - two-digit date value
• {mm} - two-digit month value
• {yy} - two-digit year value
• {yyyy} - four-digit year value

NextGen® Background Business Processor supports the following time part tokens:

• {hh} - two-digit hour value, 12-hour clock
• {hh24} - two-digit hour value, 24-hour clock
• {nn} - two-digit minute value
• {ss} - two-digit second value

NextGen® Background Business Processor supports the following counter token: {#}. The application sets the counter token value to 1 the first time the file is created and increments the value by 1 with each subsequent creation of the file. If one of the previously created files has been removed when NextGen® Background Business Processor creates a new file of the same name, NextGen® Background Business Processor increments the counter based on the highest value meeting the file name + token pattern.

Access the File Name Token Reference from NextGen® Background Business Processor Help menu for examples of file names that use tokens.
