I want to define the location of my log file, and tried to set the path together in a File/Url type user parameter. One part of the name can contain letters e.g. ø, å, æ etc and I can see in the translation log they are returned as utf8 codecs (e.g. _00f8_).
In earlier versions of FME Desktop was there the possibility to specifiy the character encoding, but it seems like somebody forgot to implement this in 2021.
The definition of the path should be as such:
C:Temp\$(WORKSPACE_NAME)_$(b_number)_$(municipality)_$(year).log
, where 'municipality' can contain special characters.
The other thing is of course, that as soon as $(WORKSPACE_NAME) is in the picture i am getting 'Undefined macro `WORKSPACE_NAME' dereferenced in file'.
Last problem the log file does of course not exist at the point when I start the workspace. Do I have to create the logfile manually i a startup script?
