Hello,

I've created a compound PDF report that runs fine except when it's scheduled to run via Report Caster. The log says "PDF saved - No report to distribute". I've researched Focal Point, but couldn't find anything that addressed my issue since the report works outside of RC. Some of my code is below:


SET PAGE-NUM=OFF
COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
SECTION=S1, LAYOUT=ON, MERGE=OFF,ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,PAGESIZE='Legal', LEFTMARGIN=0.0250,RIGHTMARGIN=0.0250, $

PAGELAYOUT=ALL, $

COMPONENT=REP1, TYPE=REPORT, POSITION=(.250 .250),DIMENSION=(14.00 8.50), $

PAGELAYOUT=1,NAME='Layout page 1', $

COMPONENT=REP2, TYPE=REPORT, POSITION=(.25 1.300),DIMENSION=(14.00 8.50), $
.
.
.

There are 48 separate reports that use ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT PDF, and the last report has COMPOUND END

Anyone has an idea what might be causing RC to save the PDF files but not distribute the report? Appreciate it. Thanks

Luiz

Prarie,

I've change to ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF, and didn't get a report. Below is the RC log:

-SET &ECHO=ON;
to see the execution in the log, this might help you debug the problem.

Francis,

I realized I had -EXIT at the very end of the report, and removed that. Now I'm getting

"PDF FILE ON PC DISK
Task finished"

But it's working!! Thanks
