Saving Graph

I'd like to run JMP from the commandline on a server ---- periodically the data will be dumped from a database and invoke a JMP script --- this script will format the data via Graph Builder ---   It all appears to be working but I need a way to save the Graph Image to a file (... PDF would be fine) and close/exit JMP.....

Here is what I have;                        -----   the graph does not appear and no files created..... --- and I don't know how to close/exit JMP

//Open data table from QA system and create graph for Open Defects by severity and version number//

  dt = Open("$SAMPLE_IMPORT_DATA/GalaxyFULL_TEST.xls");

// Build the visualization Graph to show severity of open defects//

wind = New Window( header,

Graph Builder(

           .....................Graph Builder script goes here.................................

      );

wind << save picture("c:\temp\Graphic.JPG", JPEG);

wind << Close Window;

Close( dt, No Save );

Re: Saving Graph

OK --- i've stepped through my script and it appears to be working now ---- not exactly sure where the problem lies.....   The following works......

// create a new directory for day of the week//

baseDir = "C:\temp\";

dir = baseDir || Substitute(MDYHMS(Today()), "/", "-", ":", ".");

CreateDirectory(dir);

Set Current Directory (dir);

// save graph to new directory//

wind << save picture("D2L Open Defects.JPG", JPEG);

wind << close Window;

Close( dt, No Save );

Exit (No Save);

Re: Saving Graph

Although I have limited experience of Windows, is it possible that the save-error in the first script was caused by the use of a lower case drive letter in the path? As in wind << save picture("c:\temp\Graphic.JPG", JPEG);

Re: Saving Graph

MS ----  thanks for the suggestion ----   I tried with lower case and uppercase drive letter and it doesn't seem to make a difference...

So I'm still puzzled but at least it's working now.....
