Hi Sabit,

This code looks familiar, a 5 minute hack from another answer I made blush

The problem is probably with %File, try replacing the file output with the following code...


set file=##class(%FileBinaryStream).%New()
set file.Filename=filename
quit file.OutputToDevice()

If you are still getting a file not found then the file name is probably wrong / corrupt, try logging the file name and opening the file from the command line to be sure.

Sean.
