Hi KT,

To the mail subject you can add any parameters you supply for your RC schedule as amper variable using '&VAR'. And you can add the burst value using '%BURST'.

See also in 'ReportCaster End User's Manual', distributing a Report Using E-mail in chapter 3.

Hi kt1,

Has this issue been resolved? Many thanks to Susannah and Roland's input. Smiler

This can be done if you can run the schedule from the ReportCaster API. The following online document may be of interest:

Hope this helps. Big Grin

Cheers,

Kerry
