Hi,

I have a compound PDF report which is created using PCHOLD and variables to test whether or not the report should be CLOSEd dependent upon number of loops.

I want to save this report for ReportCaster distribution but it seems that it will only output to browser using PCHOLD and I can't use HOLD because it's doesn't support PDF OPEN/CLOSE.

Any suggestions on how I can save the output to disk?

Thanks,

Mat

I have a compound PDF report that works in ReportCaster with a SET statement at the beginning of each FEX
SET COMPOUND = OPEN
SET COMPOUND = CLOSE

Matt,
I'm doing exactly that what you described by using:

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF OPEN
...
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF CLOSE

For some reason I couldn't get the SET COMPOUND to work, but placing it in the PCHOLD command works just fine.
