I would like to change the date format used in ExtFile to include the year like %Y%m%d%H%M%S. At present the script will on accept %m%d%H%M%S
Using the extra characters created by %Y gets the zope error: Error Type: ValueError Error Value: int() literal too large: 20030123222057
I am setting the FILE_FORMAT = "%n-%t%e" Changing Line 590 to: counter = int(DateTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'))
What's else needs to be changed please? The "int" data type has a limit: its a bit above 2.000.000.000.
If you need something bigger, you must use "long" (which does not have a limit). However, the "%i" and "%d" format specifiers can overflow. You can try "%s" or you need to provide your own conversion from long to string. Dieter
