I have a column in my file which contains the "name of the image file" which I want to insert in my PDF report. I do have the base URL too. I want the corresponding image to be displayed in the report based on the column value. Eg- my file has data as follows:
Fld name 1 Field name 2 A11111 attachment name 1 A11112 attachment name 2
Base URL is "\\XXXXXX\XX"
My report should look like as follows: A11111 Image displayed for attachment name1
A11112 Image displayed for attachment name2
Can anybody help?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

Images in PDF can only be displayed as part of the heading if you wish to include it in the report request. The other possibility is to include them through a compound report. But I don't think you will want it that way. You can have more than one image inserted in the heading, and you can position and size it. But it has to be in the heading of the report.

I searched FocalPoint for "PDF IMAGE DATA" and one of the results was Image in row of a PDF report, a very clever technique by Darin Lee, PDF guru. So you CAN insert images in a data row of a PDF report! (I've tried it and it works beautifully).

Francis, I think I am real close but not getting the image displayed on the report. Attaching the chunk of code I am using for this purpose:
DEFINE FILE ABCD IMAGE1 /A300 = IF ATTACHMENT_LINK LIKE '%.JPG' OR '%.jpg' OR '%.PNG' OR '%.png' OR '%.GIF' OR '%.gif' THEN '&BASEURL' | ATTACHMENT_LINK ELSE '' ; END
TABLE FILE ABCD PRINT FLD1 AS 'FLD1' ATTACHMENT_NAME AS 'ATTACHMENT NAME' IMAGE1 AS 'ATTACHMENT'
BY BURST_VALUE NOPRINT BY SOME OTHER FIELD NOPRINT BY FLD1 NOPRINT BY ATTACHMENT_LINK NOPRINT ON ATTACHMENT_LINK SUBFOOT " " " " WHEN ATTACHMENT_LINK LIKE '%.JPG' OR '%.jpg' OR '%.PNG' OR '%.png' OR '%.GIF' OR '%.gif'; ON TABLE FOOTING " " " " ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF ON TABLE SET STYLE * TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT='MY REPORT', SQUEEZE=ON, WRAP=OFF, FONT=ARIAL, SIZE=10, $ TYPE=TITLE,SIZE=10,FONT=ARIAL, JUSTIFY=CENTER, COLOR=NAVY,BACKCOLOR=NONE,STYLE=BOLD+UNDERLINE, $ TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=N7,IMAGE=(IMAGE1),SIZE=(5.0 2.5),$ ENDSTYLE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &FORMAT
END -RUN
Please let me know if I am making any mistake in the code.

The image MUST be in an App folder that is in the APPPATH.

I don't know anything about App folder or APPPATH. My requirement is to fetch the image from a network folder. Can I do so?

BASEURL is irrelevant when creating a PDF document. As Francis states, all the images that are used must be in your server path. You can get more info about that from the links he kindly posted.
Additionally, going from your profile which states you are using WF on z/OS, all references to locations must be made in context of the WF server. So a location of "\\XXXXXX\XXXX\" would be meaningless to a z/OS server. You're probably going to have to move your images to a location that can be referenced by your WF server to get what you want.

Darin

Right. It will work for Excel and HTML output, but it will not work for PDF output. PDF output has its own rules.
