We have standard text string like Confidential Do Not Distribute that we want to include in the page footer on every report can this be added to a stylesheet so that we do not have to manually add it to every report that is created?

I have already added an image to the stylesheet successfully but cannot find any info on adding text string.
I searched the IBI knowledge base and Focal Point but have not found any content on how to do this.
Thanks!

To have a text added in the footing from a style sheet I don't think that it's feasible, but why not creating another image with the phrase :
Confidential Do Not Distribute

and place it on the page ?

Sandy,

Look into parameterizing the text string you want to include in your footers, and then just add it in the report request by first including it then referencing it. Example:

procedureA.fex:

-SET &ftrText = 'text you want';


procedureB.fex:

-INCLUDE IBFS:/...../procedure.A.fex

TABLE FILE ...
...
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"&ftrText"
...

Using your technic CoolGuy request Sandy to open and modify each report, which is not the request.

MartinY,

True, but I wasn't sure if there was a way for her to set text in a footer via a stylesheet. So, I gave her the next best thing I could think of for her moving forward. Then again, maybe it isn't the best solution. Just trying to help and put my 2 cents in.

Try this:

TYPE = FOOTING, JUSTIFY = CENTER, TEXT = 'your text here', $

I was not blaming you CoolGuy, everyone here is trying to help each other based on is own knowledge.

TYPE = FOOTING, JUSTIFY = CENTER, TEXT = 'your text here', $
doesn't work either.

TEXT
is not recognized in the 
TYPE=FOOTING

Try it with a simple report with CAR and you'll see that it doesn't display the 
TEXT
in the footing

Except if someone else can find something, I think the best solution for SandyM is for now to create an image with the text and display the image.

Martin,

No worries. I didn't think you were blaming me for anything. Just was clarifying. Thanks for your consideration though.

I didn't test it first, which I should have done, but was lazy. Just took a stab in the dark.

Your image solution is the best one thus far. I agree.
