[SOLVED] Report layout painter w/Bookmarks

I am trying to create a dynamic report with bookmarks using report master layout. Unfortuantely with pdf layoutpainter I need to specify how many components I have... but I don't know how many I will have.

For example below is and example of what I need. The Car file brings back a number or cars that I a report for. But in my real case I don't know that there will be 1 or 10 rows in that file.

TABLE FILE CAR 
PRINT CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS H1 FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN

-SET &CRLINES = &LINES;
-SET &CNT = 0;

-REPEAT CRLP &CRLINES TIMES
-READ H1 NOCLOSE &CAR.A16.
-SET &CAR = &CAR;
-SET &CNT=&CNT+1;

-SET &FMT = IF &CNT EQ 1 THEN 'OPEN NOBREAK' ELSE IF &CNT EQ &CRLINES THEN 'CLOSE' ELSE 'NOBREAK';

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
COUNTRY
MODEL
DEALER_COST
WHERE CAR EQ '&CAR.EVAL'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF &FMT
END

-CRLP



How do I make the above concatenate and spit out as one report ... the below gives me a decent output but only the first report.



SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON
COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
UNITS=IN, $

END

-SET &CNT = 0;

-SET &CAR = &CAR;
-SET &CNT=&CNT+1;


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT

MODEL
DEALER_COST
WHERE CAR EQ '&CAR.EVAL'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF NOBREAK
END

-CRLP

COMPOUND END




I cannot give it more components because i don't know how many there will be and in the real report the formats for displaying are different. Some outputs are text, others are tables.

Any help is much appreciated!

So I was able to dynamically build the config piece... which is what I need. So now I will try it on a larger scale, but this is a solution if anyone else was needing something similar.
