Naming Qvd automatically

I am having the data which which comes out everything and i should name it according to the month wise

for this I am using

Let vPrevMonth =PICK((Month(Today())-1),'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec');

store PastMonth into $(QVD)\vPrevMonth.qvd(qvd);

but it is not working

Try dollar expanding your vPrevMonth variable too:

store PastMonth into $(QVD)\$(vPrevMonth).qvd(qvd);


talk is cheap, supply exceeds demand
