OutputFileName Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The OutputFileName property identifies an operating system file that records job step result message text.
Syntax
object
.OutputFileName [= value]
Parts
object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To listvalue
A string expression that identifies an operating system file by name
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetOutputFileName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetOutputFileName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
SQL Server Agent can capture result message text for job steps built for the subsystems CmdExec, TSQL, and ActiveScripting.
Set OutputFileName to start recording result message text to the file indicated by the property. Set OutputFileName to an empty string to stop recording.
