Task properties
General Tab
l
Folder: Enter the path of the folder to which the files are to be saved.
l
File name: Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new file
from overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. You can use any combination
of text, variables and data selections; see "Variable task properties" on page289.
l
Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PReS Workflow tries to save a file under a
given name, if a file under that same name already exists, instead of overwriting it, PReS Work-
flow will append the content of the new file to that of the existing file. This appending process will
go on until the file is removed from the folder.
l
Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of each file
when the Concatenate files option is selected.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Pro-
cess area.
Set Job Infos and Variables
Add Set Job Infos and Variables action tasks to set Job Info elements as well as custom variables
(see "About variables" on page238). You can set multiple variables and Job Info values in a single
task. Be aware that lines are processed from top to bottom.

Processing
This task assigns the defined values to local or global variables or Job Info variables. It does not modify
the data file nor the Metadata.
Output
The original data file, Metadata and other Job Info variables are not modified, they are passed on to the
next task.
