Hai all..

I am working on a report caster job for a report.

Report has sort field which is userid.
I have a procedure to create email ID using userID.
I am using this for burst feature so that when both userID match, that part of the report is sent to that particular user.
So, if there are 10 users, each receive just their records but not complete report.

Is there any way for 2 other users (userids not in the report) to receive complete report?
Way I think is to create another report caster job to run the report and send the complete report to those 2 IDs.
Is there any other way to do this from the existing burst procedure?

Thanks

you create a dynamic mail list?
if so you can also add the two users for each by field to that list

Is that possible? But those 2 users are not in the report. So report will not be distributed to them.

This is my burst procedure

TABLE FILE ABC
SUM EMAIL
BY USERID
WHERE USERDID IN ('A','B','C','D')
END

This is report

TABLE FILE XYZ
PRINT *
BY USERID
END

So when userid match report is sent to that email. How can I add 2 other IDs so that they receive the complete report of A,B,C and D?

Thanks

Enigma,
Not by sorting on USERID. Let's call the other two recipients "E" and "F". They would never show up in the dynamic distribution list, and so they will never see the report.

For example, this is what the first request will generate:

"A" A@somewhere.com
"B" B@somewhere.com
"C" C@somewhere.com
"D" D@somewhere.com

What you need to have is more like this:

"A" A@somewhere.com
"B" B@somewhere.com
"C" C@somewhere.com
"D" D@somewhere.com
"A" E@somewhere.com
"B" E@somewhere.com
"C" E@somewhere.com
"D" E@somewhere.com
"A" F@somewhere.com
"B" F@somewhere.com
"C" F@somewhere.com
"D" F@somewhere.com

Notice that "E" and "F" are defined as receiving each of the reports (depending upon RC settings they would each get four attachemnts in one email or four separate emails).

If you ensure that the USERID is always A,B,C,D you could use a static distribution list where you can define those recipients. But then you would skip the first request and just generate the report.

Hope this helps.
