Yes. I do this in some of my reports. However you can't write to both
files simultaneously. The report creates first one file and then the
second. DP can only write to one file at a time.
Set up the report options to create an output file named C:\NUL
Also set the file format you want (Text or WP). Note that the file
format will apply to both files the report creates.
Then inside the report, you store in an RV the actual file name of the
first file you want to create. (Make sure it conforms to the 8.3 file
naming rules.) Then you have the 'Turn File Off' code, immediately
followed by the 'Open Filename in RV' code, immediately followed by the
'Turn File On' code. That starts sending output to your file.
--------------------Store Value in Report Variable 250
------------------------
--------------------Turn File
Off----------------------------------------------
--------------------Begin Writing to Filename in Report Variable 250
----------
--------------------Turn File
On-----------------------------------------------
When you're ready to stop writing file 1 and begin writing file 2, do
the above steps again (store filename in RV, 'Turn File Off', 'Open File
in RV', 'Turn File On').
Of course, you have to structure your report so that you can process and
output all of the info for file 1, and then process and output all of
the info for file 2. Usually something like a couple of virtual
subreports inside the main Report Body, with each virtual subreport
being used to generate the output for one file.
