Strange Copy Command Problem

Hi,

I'm trying to copy some series from one wf to another, renaming each series as I do so. Here's my code:

Code: Select all

for %s %scen h high m medium l low for %school school1 school2 school3 school4 school5 school6 wfuse {%school}\{%scen} copy(overwrite) {%school}::{%scen}\g6_{%s} elemtotal::{%scen}\g6_{%s}_{%school} save elemtotal close {%school} next genr g6_{%s}=g6_{%s}_school1+g6_{%s}_school2+g6_{%s}_school3+g6_{%s}_school4+g6_{%s}_school5+g6_{%s}_school6 next
For reasons that are lost on me (I've used this loop before and it was fine) this loop renames all the "school" workfiles to "elemtotal"!

Thoughts?

Thanks,

BL

You have the command:

Code: Select all

save elemtotal
which saves the current workfile under the name "elemtotal".
