Good morning and happy new year
I wanted to use the variables that are described in https://www.cobiansoft.com/crHelp/parameters.html when sending the emails reporting errors in the backup.
To test all the variables, I have put them in the body of the message and this has been the result:
- A group that has performed as expected, based on the descriptions of the variables.
- A group of 3 variables, very important, that have worked as literals, so they have not been useful to me.
- One last group, which simply has not worked as expected: they have not returned any value that allows working with them.
Is this the expected behavior, or is it that I have not understood anything at all?
Thanks in advance...
1) Variable substitution works correctly
2) The original variable appears as a literal
3) These variables appear empty, without any content.

Hi Luis,
I'm sorry for the miswriting. I ment %ERRORS of course.
But it is not only this parameter that is concerned.
I have not tried them all, but a couple of them like %DATETIME, %USERNAME, %DOCUMENTS, %DISKLABEL, etc. and none of them works...
Reflector DOES start the bat files as usual, but they don't receive the parameter values.
As I wrote, it has probably to do with the way the executable files are registered and that it is not possible to edit.
