Variables in output directory

[bascroft]

I'm trying to set the output directory using buildnumbers i.e. the output directory would be set to: $E(BUILDNUM), and (obviously because I'm posting here) it doesn't work. Has anyone else tried something like this?

Thanks,
Bruce.

You might be able to use a build-time variable like $A(BUILDNUMBER), where you set the value at build time using the -pathVariable switch.

(The other string-resolver methods $E, $P, etc., are available at run time.)
