I added a javascript function on my COGNOS report
like this method ↓

<script>
function runFormat(format) {
  if(typeof(top.frames['IframeID'].document.forms[0]) == 'object')
  {
     var f = top.frames['IframeID'].document.forms[0];
     top.frames['theiframe']['oCV'+f['cv.id'].value].getRV().viewReport(format);
  }
  else
  {
     alert('select a report first.');
  }
}
</script>

BUT when did I download the excel file, the name of file is too ridiculous.
There is no pattern. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THAT NAME.

Is there someone who can help me? PLEASE~~~

But, my users want to set the report name automatcally.
that's why it becomes a problem.

Is there way I can change that default name?

How about you run the report in the background, and when the users download the report from the saved output, they can get the report name instead of the ugly name, when you run it adhoc...Is that an option at all...
