The CSV part is easy, just create another drilldown that creates the CSV.

As for the level the report has been expanded to, I assume it is an accordian report ?

Hi Waz
Actually I hv made the same and csv file is working fine. it gets overwritten acc. to data whenever I expand or collapse it. It is fine with less amount of data,but for bulk data this can degrade the performance I believe. So is there any other solution to do the same?? and if u cn provide me the code for the same it would be great help

Have you thought about useing FOCCACHE ?

You could have a copy of the extracted data available, and it should be quicker.

Is this your actual code ?

What you need to do is to create the hold file first time through.

Then with each drilldown, don't create the hold file, but just table from it.

You can pass a parameter or check to see if the FOCCACHE file exists to determine which to do.

Then in the report use dialog manager to handle what to do.

e.g.
-IF &HOLDEXISTS EQ 'YES' THEN GOTO SHOW_RPT ;

{Extract part}

-SHOW_RPT

{Report part}


You may have to FILEDEF the hold file in the report part.
