Hi,
I need to set Burst value and File name for FTP option dynamically in Reportcaser based on lines of Code (By Sort field).
For example,
The report should burst after every 100 records.How can I implement this condition?

Thanks,
Suji

You need to create a sort field that counts number of lines of output - probably using a COMPUTE. As soon as you get this to where it would page-break after each 100 records then you can just use that same field as your burst value. Remember that to burst, this will have to be your primary sort. There are numerous examples of what you are trying to do if you use the search tab.


Regards,

Darin

FYI, solution from Suji:

This is my code to burst a report into multiple sections and ftp them to a particular location(/tmp).

APP HOLD holddir
SQL SQLORA
SELECT RR_NUM FROM TABLENAME;

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
RR_NUM
COMPUTE FILE_FTP/A7 = RR_NUM || '.xls' ;
ON TABLE HOLD AS BURST_REP FORMAT FOCUS
END

TABLE FILE BURST_REP
PRINT
ACCTNUM
BY RR_NUM NOPRINT
END

The following is the code for bursting which resides in a separate APP Folder in reporting server.

TABLE FILE BURST_REP
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
PRINT
RR_NUM AS 'VALUE'
FILE_FTP AS 'DEST'
ON TABLE PCHOLD
END

Thanks a lot Suji for sharing with us. Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry
