TargetFilename in the Outbound File Adapter

Question

Hi all,
I have created an interface that sends projects form SAP PS (by tRFC) to a file directory (using an outbound file adapter). Each project is created as a individual file. All this works well, but the filenames created for the files are not very intuitive for the users looking at the files at the receiver point since there are quite a lot of similar files only distinguished from each other by a timestamp (usualy only separated by milliseconds).
Is there a way to make the file adapter append data from one XML tag in the file name? I.e:
file.TargetFilename='<project></project>'.txt
file.writeMode=addTimeStamp
giving i.e a file '1234567_timestamp.txt'
This way I can include i.e. the project number + timestamp as filename making it user friendly for the people using the files.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Best Regards
Odd Hilt

HI
Read the file without using key field. Just define the FCC parameters Header and Items PI will pick the file.
DT_Source
   Record
     Header 0..1
       PO_Number String 0..1
     Items  0..unbounded
       Items String 0..1
Do the FCC
Header.fieldnames PO_Number
other config for Header
Items.fieldnames Items
other config for items
Thanks
Gaurav
