[SOLVED] Print compound report to multiple pages
I have a compound report that is printed by setting a cost center (&COSTCENTER) variable. I would like to loop through a list of cost centers, executing the report for each, and creating a PDF with multiple pages. I am just getting one page with one cost center. I've tried using SET COMPOUND=OPEN/SET COMPOUND=CLOSE.

This is my looping fex.

-DEFAULTH &DIRECTOR = '_FOC_NULL'
-DEFAULTH &COSTCENTER = '_FOC_NULL'
-DEFAULTH &CC = '_FOC_NULL'

TABLE FILE VWCOSTCENTERATTRIBUTES
PRINT
COSTCENTER AS 'CC'
WHERE DIRECTOR EQ &DIRECTOR;
ON TABLE HOLD AS CENTERS FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN

-REPEAT :ENDREPEAT1 FOR &I FROM 1 TO &LINES
-READFILE CENTERS
-SET &CC.&I = &CC ;
-SET &COSTCENTER='''' | &CC.&I | '''';

-INCLUDE IBFS:/WFC/Repository/NFI_Dedicated/Operations/TransMetrics/IncomeExpense/Rpt_Operations_Review_Compound.fex

-:ENDREPEAT1

This is my compound report.

Hi David

I would recommend setting the message viewer ON from the run button so you can see the actual code executed and that your loop is seeing more than one cost center.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Hi Chuck

That was my first thought, so I -SET &PM='''Adam Sharp'''; in the fex and confirmed that I was looping correctly.

I'm working with Tamra Colangelo, and she recommended using a coordinated compound report, making sure all the reports have the same BY field - COSTCENTER. I will try that.
