Can someone tell me why this code wont run

[[email protected]]

I've created an input comment above this that has the file location written in it as shown; THE C30 INPUT COMMENT IS "Q:\\CMM REPORTS\\HEXAGON\"
ASSIGN/V30=C30.INPUT
ASSIGN/V98=C1.INPUT
ASSIGN/V99=C2.INPUT
ASSIGN/FILE_DATE=SYSTEMDATE( "MM.dd.yyyy" )
ASSIGN/FILE_TIME=SYSTEMTIME( "hh.mm.ss" )
ASSIGN/FILE_NAME=V98 + " - " + V99 + " - " + FILE_DATE + " _ " + FILE_TIME + " .XLSX"
ASSIGN/FILE_LOCATION=V30
PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=FILE_LOCATION+FILE_NAME.PDF,A UTO OPEN REPORT=OFF,$
TO_PRINTER=ON,COPIES=1,$
TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=INDEX,FILENAME=,$
REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMEN SIONS=NO,$
TO_EXCEL_OUTPUT=ON,
PREVIOUS_RUNS=DELETE_INSTANCES

I've tried this many ways and cannot find a solution.
I've even made droplist but they don't work
I just need the **** report to be sent to a specific file location via comment.
idk why its gotta be so rash!

ASSIGN/V98=C1.INPUT
ASSIGN/V98=C1.INPUT
ASSIGN/V99=C2.INPUT
ASSIGN/FILE_DATE=SYSTEMDATE( "MM.dd.yyyy" )
ASSIGN/FILE_TIME=SYSTEMTIME( "hh.mm.ss" )
ASSIGN/FILE_NAME=V98 + " - " + V99 + " - " + FILE_DATE + " _ " + FILE_TIME + " .XLSX"
ASSIGN/FILE_LOCATION="Q:\\CMM REPORTS\\V98\\"
PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=FILE_LOCATION+FILE_NAME.PDF,A UTO OPEN REPORT=OFF,$
TO_PRINTER=ON,COPIES=1,$
TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=INDEX,FILENAME=,$
REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMEN SIONS=NO,$
TO_EXCEL_OUTPUT=ON,
PREVIOUS_RUNS=DELETE_INSTANCES

I DID THE ONE ABOVE WITH THE INPUT COMMENT AS HEXAGON
and it didn't work either.

It wont send the files to the folders like it's routed.

THIS ONE WORKS BUT ONLY BECAUSE I MANULLY TYPED IT IN.
ASSIGN/V98=C1.INPUT
ASSIGN/V99=C2.INPUT
ASSIGN/FILE_DATE=SYSTEMDATE( "MM.dd.yyyy" )
ASSIGN/FILE_TIME=SYSTEMTIME( "hh.mm.ss" )
ASSIGN/FILE_NAME=V98 + " - " + V99 + " - " + FILE_DATE + " _ " + FILE_TIME + " .XLSX"
ASSIGN/FILE_LOCATION="Q:\\CMM REPORTS\\HEXAGON\\"
PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=FILE_LOCATION+FILE_NAME.PDF,A UTO OPEN REPORT=OFF,$
TO_PRINTER=ON,COPIES=1,$
TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=INDEX,FILENAME=,$
REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMEN SIONS=NO,$
TO_EXCEL_OUTPUT=ON,

After you have completely concatenated the file name string, place a COMMENT/OPERATOR in the routine and display the value of that variable, FILE_NAME. See what the software thinks it all adds up to

Afterwards I highlighted the variable and it does show the correct path.
yet it doesn't do it.
I re-checked the file and its not sending it at all.
it just open up another file and says it cant be saved

[Don Ruggieri]

Highlighted value does not guarantee an identical execution value. Its a long story. . . .

[JEFMAN]

File name is ".XLSX" and you have a FILENAME.PDF ?
Instead of a coment input, you could use a File/Dialog, to choose the folder with an "element" function

Ughh I having computer difficulties today.
sorry for deleting your comment.
this forum isn't allowing me to edit my comments or posts.
So my code does contain the shown missing backslashes.
sorry they got cut out in the copy/paste

you have two conflicting file extensions. This could be an issue.

further, try another variable to combine the filename before the print command and not perform that IN the print command...see below...

I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS TO DO IT.
And thanks JEFFMAN I changed the .xlsx to pdf. also
I broke the path down into runnable variables.
it took them..
I'm not questioning it any further LOL!
as long as it works its not broken haha...
thanks guys!
AGAIN!

I noticed the .xlsx extension after JEFMAN pointed that out and facepalmed. Apologies for the mistake in my example

The .PDF in red is definitely not right - you're asking PC-DMIS for the sub-field .PDF of the variable FILE_NAME (just like CIR1.DIAM), but that doesn't exist, and you have already added a file extension to FILE_NAME (.XLSX in the quoted code, but I note that you have changed it to .PDF later).
