Types of Name Patterns

The eWay provides the following types of name patterns:

• Date/Time stamp: Uses the format %[GyMdhHmsSEDFwWakKz], for example, abc%y%y%y%y means abc2001 (see Table 58 for more information).

• Sequence number: Uses the format %#, %5#, for example, abc%# means abc1, abc2, abc3, and so on; for another example, abc%5# (zero-padded) means abc00001, abc00002, abc00003, ..., abc00010, ..., abc00100, and so on.

• Working-file name: Uses the format %f; normally, it is used for pre- or post-file-transfer commands (see Pre/Post File Transfer Commands), for example, %f.abc means working_filename.abc.

The sequence of expansion operates in the reverse order of the previous list, that is, first the file name is expanded, then the sequence number, and finally the time stamp.

Some additional examples of name pattern:

• abc.%y%y%y%y%M%M%d%d.%h%h%m%m%s%s%S%S%S means abc.20011112.162532678

• abc%#.def%# means abc2.def3

• %f.%# means xxxxx.4, xxxxx.5, ... (Where xxxxx is the working-file name)
