Hi,

is it possible to set
-SET &&KILL_RPC = IF &LINES EQ 0 THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N';
without Texteditor, so only with Infoassist, sothat the Business User can stop their empty reports as well??

thanks!

@Tomsweb Actually there's no Need for an code example, because it's just the request I don't know.

The question is, if there is a way to stop empty reports (only using InfoAssist and Report Cater)


Because I only know the was of this -SET KILL.. to stop distributing empty reports.

The default setting in InfoAssist for a report that returns 0 records is ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON. That will show the report with only the column titles. The alternative to that is to set it to OFF in which case you'll see the WebFOCUS generic message of 0 Records 0 Lines. I'm not sure how you'd kill a report once you've already found out there are no records in the output because it's already run. I think the EMPTYREPORT ON is the only user friendly way to let an InfoAssist user know their request was empty. Anything beyond that will require development work.
