When I run one of our procedures it has three different reports in it.

When I change them to pdf format and run it, it only shows the first report. In HTML it shows them all.

For PDF and Excel formats, you have to create a "Compound Report", the fex stops after the first report is created.

From the ibi.com technical site:
Example: Creating a Compound PDF Report
The following illustrates how to combine three separate PDF reports into one by creating a compound report. Notice that:

Report 1 specifies ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF OPEN. This defines the report as the first report and sets the format for the entire compound report as PDF.

Report 2 species only the format, ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF.

Report 3 specifies ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF CLOSE. This defines the report as the last report.

John I tried your suggestion and It worked.

We are using Web focus 7.1. Is there a way to use the report painter tool to do this graphically instead of coding it.

Also when I got it to work and tried going back into the report with rpainter it says the report is still open error parsing. It wont let me open the RPainter with the report.

In 7.1...there is a PDF Layout Painter that should be able to help you with this.
When you create a procedure..it is one of the options.

I was working on a compound PDF report and ran into a similar situation with report painter. For some reason, report painter did not open/work when I was using the compound report code (PDF OPEN….PDF CLOSE) in my report. Report painter gave me the same error. I tried removing the code segment from my report and it worked just fine.
Just wanted to let you because I think that report painter has certain limitations and might be one of them.
