I've used the "Process At End" in the report definition to chain reports together. Everything ends up in the same spool file that way.
One report's process at end calls another process that generates a report, and so on and so on. I've used this method to create an empty "shell" report to run non-SB+ output through the report writer. I suppose you could hold a list of the reports you want to run in a common variable, and make it general. Only gotcha I can think of is if you have too many, you may hit the subroutine CALL nested level limit. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Leckie Sent: Friday, August 10, 2007 9:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Combining report writer reports I have some report writer reports that are called from the programe that creates the data that the reports use, however I would like to consolodate these in to one print job and send that at the end, I cannot output to one dummy printer (a file on the server) as that would mean only one person using the programme at a time. I have tried experimenting with the "Additional Report Parameters" (/MP <process>, F5, F9), the spooler options look as though they may be useful but I cant get the HS option to work as I expect, Is there a way to get the _HOLD_ file name created and concatenate that to another file, then do the same with the next etc, etc. Or is there an easier way to combine the output of separate report writer reports? -- Important Manager : Hello, is that the chief neologist?
