Multiple pdf reports on one page

Hello, Smiler

I will appreciate some suggestions on how to write multiple pdf reports on one page by a common sort break.

eg.
Report-1 Sum DealarCost
by Country Page-break
Heading
Country <Country

Report-2 Sum RetailCost
By Country Page-break
Heading
Country <Country

Report-3 Print Car Model
By Country Page-break
Heading
Country <Country

I can create multiple reports using Compound Reporting, but how can I make a common sort-break for all these reports, so that each Country is on its own page with all three reports for that country. Is there any technique out there? I am using WF523 on Win2K.

I've done something like that, but it uses involved Dialgue Manager. Essentailly it would execute you routine x number of time based on a loop. Logic needs to be programmed in to OPEN and CLOSE the Compound Report, but it can be done.

-STARTLOOP

-*Get a value

-*Compound Report with one value and OPEN/CLOSE logic.

-*Test value based on number of values (can use FOCLIST)

-GOTO STARTLOOP
