I had scheduled a job in report caster which was intend to send the report in an email. But in addition i should create a copy of that report in a network drive folder also.

So while scheduling i would select the distribution format as email which will send an email. But how do i create a copy of the report in network drive. If the report exists already, it should overwrite that. Can anyone post the sample code for the same.

Unless someone knows a different way, the portion of the job that produces the report has to run twice, first to a file, second for email, then depending on your environment, ftp/copy the file to the desired folder.

Code would look something like this:
-SET &PASS=0;
-REPEAT ENDLOOP 2 TIMES
-SET &HOLD=IF &PASS EQ 0 THEN 'HOLD AS RPT1' ELSE 'PCHOLD';
 TABLE FILE CAR
 PRINT *
 ON TABLE &HOLD FORMAT EXL2K
 END
? FILEDEF
-RUN
-SET &PASS=&PASS+1;
-ENDLOOP
-*
-*  FTP/COPY FILE TO FOLDER
-*
   execute OS command(s) to place file in the desired folder

The ? FILEDEF is to get the filename so after you have it, it can be removed.

What we do is just produce the report in a file, ftp to the folder, put a link to the report on our dashboard. Saves on email traffic.
