1. The last dialog PDF file name can only be retrieved once. The last dialog PDF file name is automatically cleared by the GETMODE *LASTDIALOGPDF operation.

2. The last dialog PDF file name is cleared when a CHAIN operation is executed or when a Print Preview dialog is presented to the end-user.

PF PFILE

PdfFileName DIM 100

             PRTOPEN PF, "pdf:", "JobName", PDFNAME=""

             PRTPAGE PF;"Testing Save PDF As Dialog"

             PRTCLOSE PF //OS Save Dialog used!

.

             GETMODE *LASTDIALOGPDF=PdfFileName
