Would like to find out a technique to output a report into one file hopefully without having to create more than one fex since the report is the same other than the parameters. Ultimately, this report will be scheduled (reportcaster?) to run based on providing several criteria of a YearCode and Region (All or only Mainland). Would this use a loop, a new fex with an include of the original report twice or some other method?
In the below example output would show the all regions then only Mainland
All Regions

Thank you Pat for your help on this. Your suggestion worked and the loop produces the output.
For my understanding of the code... Regarding &OC, does this mean that 'OPEN' is a keyword meaning to keep the html file open and append additional data into it and then 'CLOSE' closes/saves the file so nothing more is added to it?
Lastly, (if you happen to know) when the output is html, the data flows from the first group to the next, when I changed the format to PDF, the second group ended up on it's own page even though space was available to accommodate the rows on page one. In some cases this will be preferred, but in others it would be nice to have all on one page. Is this a pdf thing or is there a page setting to keep together.
I hope you don't take this as being too picky. But, there's really no need for "&OD" with HTML, or is there? Was that just for illustrative purposes or for use if the output was to change to PDF?
