Hi, how to ease writing and reading flags/options for GetFileSaveName and its cousin GetFileOpenName >>>

STEP #1: Create new custom NVO. Name = OFN

// *** CLASS = "OFN" ***
// *** Instance variables ***

// ENUM = OFN - Options for GetFileOpenName/GetFileSaveName (PowerScript functions)
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
constant long CreatePrompt       =     1
constant long Explorer           =     2
constant long ExtensionDifferent =     4
constant long FileMustExist      =     8
constant long HideReadOnly       =    16
constant long LongNames          =    32
constant long NoChangeDir        =    64
constant long NoDereferenceLinks =   128
constant long NoLongNames        =   256
constant long NoNetworkButton    =   512
constant long NoReadOnlyReturn   =  1024
constant long NoTestFileCreate   =  2048
constant long NoValidate         =  4096
constant long OverwritePrompt    =  8192
constant long PathMustExist      = 16384
constant long _ReadOnly          = 32768

STEP #2: Use named constants instead of "magic numbers"

...
ulong flags = OFN.Explorer + OFN.NoReadOnlyReturn + OFN.CreatePrompt

if GetFileSaveName(..., flags) = 1 then
   ...
end if

Enjoy, /Michael

Gentlemen:

Thank you for help, i can surely write my own clone of SaveAs, as you had suggested.

I hoped that there would be an "easier" way, but seemingly no luck here.... 

Alternative to Miguel's suggestions, you could call GetFileSaveName to allow user select destination file. PN Help describe the wealth of options for GetFileSaveName/GetFileOpenName. Here you can also via "Filter" restrict the filetypes any user may select.

HTH /Michael

Create your own:

- datawindow with one row and one column, having dddw or ddlb with the values you want

- once the user selects one of these, do the SaveAs with the correct type.
