How can I save past runs as individual files

Hello,

I am relatively new to CMM programing. I was wondering if there was any way to set up a system where when a measurement routine ends, the program automatically saves the routine with the measurement points for that specific serial number to a set file directory. It's been a hassle for when I forget to print out a report at the end of a routine, go to run the next part and I lose my information for the previous one forever. I would like to have it set up as to where, when a measurement routine ends, the program asks me what i could like to name the file, and where to save it. Would someone with more knowledge of the program be able to assist me with some code that I can put in my programs so that this can be done, please?

Thanks

This is how I save my PDFs.

Operator runs program. Operator gets two pop-up comments where they have to type in a "serial number" and a "run number".

Once program is done, it "prints" the inspection rpt as a PDF to a folder I set up. The PDF itself will get named by the operator's inputs & by the exact date & time it gets created so it will always be uniquely named. I have it set up so you don't even have to open it to see if it's rejected or not.

This is at the top of my program
SERIALNUMBERQUESTION =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
Serial Number:
ASSIGN/VAR_SERIAL_NUMBER=UPPERCASE(SERIALNUMBERQUESTION.INPUT)
ASSIGN/VAR_SERIALNUMBER_STATEMENT="Serial Number: "+VAR_SERIAL_NUMBER
COMMENT/REPT,

COMMENT/REPT,
VAR_SERIALNUMBER_STATEMENT
RUNNUMBERQUESTION =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
Run Number:
IF_GOTO/RUNNUMBERQUESTION.INPUT<1 OR RUNNUMBERQUESTION.INPUT>9999,GOTO = RUNNUMBERQUESTION
IF_GOTO/LEN(RUNNUMBERQUESTION.INPUT)>4,GOTO = RUNNUMBERQUESTION
ASSIGN/VAR_RUNNUMBER=FORMAT("%04d",INT(RUNNUMBERQUESTION. INPUT))
ASSIGN/VAR_RUNNUMBER_STATEMENT="Run Number: "+VAR_RUNNUMBER
COMMENT/REPT,
VAR_RUNNUMBER_STATEMENT

thank you! I will give it a shot
