Ok, I'm trying to execute/include multiple compound PDF reports in one "master" fex, but I end up with 1 of 2 scenerios: only the 1st reports shows or the EDA Server crashes. Here what I've currently got, but this causes the server to crash.

-* File rpt_Master.fex

-SET &&G_GROUP=&GROUP_CODE;
SET COMPOUND = OPEN
-*Coverpage
-INCLUDE rpt000cover
SET COMPOUND = CLOSE
-*Glossary
-INCLUDE rpt900glossary.fex
END

This will get the 1st report working...


-SET &&G_GROUP=&GROUP_CODE;
-*Coverpage
-INCLUDE rpt000cover
-*Glossary
EX rpt900glossary.fex
END


HELP!!! PLEASE!!!


Thanks!

You should place the SET COMPOUND = CLOSE
after the last fex executed, each fex should pchold format PDF.

In our environment though to get the compound report to run and appear in a view, MRE issue perhaps, I had to put the close within the last fex.

ON TABLE SET COMPOUND CLOSE
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF

If using the PCHOLD FORMAT PDF in the last fex the file never appeared just the messages on how many lines were assigned to each one. There may be a better way, but none I've found so far.

Strange that this would cause a problem. We've found Leah's suggestions hold true (for whatever reason.)

Only difference I notice in my Fexs, is that I insert a -RUN after each -INLCUDEd section. (I do this as a general rule when I have multiple TABLEs in a request.)

Darin
