[SOLVED]no header when running fex via ReportCaster

When I burst a report that has a report header on it the header does not appear in the attached output. I tried changing the format of the output from HTML to PDF and I also tried sending the report as an inline message but no luck. When I use the same fex without bursting the header does show up. Sorry if this question has been answered before, I did a search on the topic before posting but got no hits on the search.

I believe when you Burst a report, only the Page Headers will be in the email. Are you using Report Header or Page Header?

Try changing the code from ON TABLE SUBHEAD to 
BY <fieldname> SUBHEAD

Trudy, Is this using the follow syntax?
... HEADING
"Some Text"...
Are you using any variables in the HEADING which may equate to "FOC_NONE"? Are any error displayed in your Full Notifications? Are you using any TYPE=HEADING styling? Could you post you code?

I wonder what this is based on...

According to Bursting Guidelines and Limitations in the Doc:

ON TABLE SUBHEAD/ON TABLE SUBFOOT: Creates a SUBHEAD for only the first page of the report output from a scheduled report procedure (FEX), and a SUBFOOT for only the last page of the report output from a scheduled report procedure (FEX). When bursting report output from a scheduled report procedure (FEX), the SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT should occur for each sort break. Therefore, specify the primary sort field in place of TABLE in the ON command. For example:

ON primarysortfield SUBHEAD

I misunderstood. "when you Burst a report, only the Page Headers will be in the email" - I assumed you meant the body of the report will not be in the email, only headings.

Is there really a need for "ON primarysortfield SUBHEAD"? The primarysortfield is the BurstValue, thus, a HEADING would suffice.

The TABLE HEADING / ON TABLE SUBHEAD is really superfulous in that the report (table) is broken into pieces (separate reports) based on the primarysortfield.

Doug you're right. If this is a heading that should be on every page, then HEADING should be where it goes.

I'm still curious if Trudy is using any variables in the HEADING which may equate to "FOC_NONE"... If so, those heading lines will not be displayed... An error, shown in the full RC notification, will occur if all heading lines after the HEADING keyword are not displayed due to FOC_NONE.

SOLVED - It was moving the header information to the page header as opposed to the report header that solved the issue.

Thanks for all who posted.
