I've created a dynamic distribution list, and have successfully implemented it to burst the associated report (format HTML, to be included as an inline email message.) If there are entries in the dynamic distribution list for which there are not matching report entries to be burst, then the ReportCaster job creates an error listing the values that have no report. Is there a way to avoid these error messages?

Thanks for your help.

Joni,

I had the same problem and the solution I came up with was to include the selection logic from the report into the dynamic distribution list program. That will guarantee that the list will contain entries only for those who are in the report.

RSquared: I just created a second ReportCaster job which creates a second copy of the same report, but which does not burst; it is sent to an email address without the dynamic distribution list. Thank you for your reply.

RSquared,

Great solution to avoid the 'errors'! This we can implement in some of our ReportCaster processes.

Thank you for sharing with us.
