[CLOSED] Compound report with drillthrough

I'm trying to realize a compound report with drillthrough functionality (multiple components on top page and the next pages based upon detail from second component on top page, PDF). Going through the documentation it looks like that must be possible. However, the examples given are not very helpful for me.

Does anyone have some example code (car) for this?

my guess is that you are forgetting to set your FOCEXURL
A PDF file won't be on your server, so it won't have anyway of knowing how to execute your drill. so you have to tell it.
In the code below, the app that i wrote it in is 'xsusantest', which is off-path, so i had to specifically provide it in the drilldown fexname.
SET FOCEXURL = http://&SERVERNAME|:&SERVER_PORT|/ibi_apps/WFServlet
-SET &fexname  = 'test_pdfdd';
-SET &DDO      = 'xsusantest/'|&fexname ;
-DEFAULT &WFFMT = 'PDF';
-DEFAULT &MYCAR = 'ALL';
-SET &filterCAR = IF &MYCAR.QUOTEDSTRING EQ 'ALL' THEN '' ELSE 'IF CAR EQ ''' | &MYCAR | '''';
TABLE FILE IBISAMP/CAR
BY COUNTRY BY CAR BY MODEL SUM SALES
&filterCAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &WFFMT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA,TARGET=BLANK, COLUMN=CAR,FOCEXEC=&DDO(MYCAR = CAR WFFMT = 'PDF' ),$
END

Thank you for your reply Susan. Let me be more specific:

I'm using this documentation:
LINK

However, the syntax which IBI presents in the end:

 SET SQUEEZE=ONTABLE FILE GGSALESSUM UNITS BUDUNITS DOLLARS BUDDOLLARSBY CATEGORY NOPRINT BY PRODUCT NOPRINTON CATEGORY PAGE-BREAKHEADING CENTER"Category: <CATEGORY"" "ON PRODUCT SUBHEAD"**** Product: <PRODUCT"BY REGION BY CITYON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF CLOSEON TABLE SET STYLE *TYPE=SUBHEAD, LINE=1, ITEM=2, DRILLTHROUGH=FIRST(CATEGORY PRODUCT),COLOR=RED, $ENDSTYLEEND 


Is not the syntax for a compound PDF, which is sort of this:

[CODE] -* Coordinated Report
SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON
COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
UNITS=IN, $
SECTION=section1, LAYOUT=ON, METADATA='0.5^0.5^0.5^0.5^1', MERGE=OFF, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, PAGESIZE=Letter, $

PAGELAYOUT=3, NAME='Layout page 3', text='Layout page 3', TOC-LEVEL=1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5, TOPMARGIN=0.5, METADATA='BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5,TOPMARGIN=0.5,LEFTMARGIN=0,RIGHTMARGIN=0,', $

END
SET COMPONENT='report2'
-*component_type report
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
LENGTH
WIDTH
BY COUNTRY
BY BODYTYPE
BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&COUNTRY';
HEADING
"CAR SPECS"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END
/CODE]

I'm trying to include three components in the compound, where the second component is generating the compound report.

You seem to be missing some components in there.

Try this:

-* Default Mode: ResourceLayout
