Hello,

The report created as a compound layout reports(PDF output) and it has multiple reports.
The report has 2 option for the user:
1.Current year
2.Dropdown(PO Names).The PO Names has 42 values ex:1.Adavantage health 2. CIPH so on...
Currently the user manually running the report enter the "Current year" and select the option 1 at a time from the dropdown and run the report.

The user wants this report automated from Report caster. I am trying to burst the report. When I tried from reportcaster I can select one value from dropdown and distribute to user. is there way can I enter all the 42 values in the parameter instead of 1 value at a time choose from dropdown.


I appreciate your help.

Thank you

Short answer: Yes, you can do that in WebFOCUS.

-DEFAULTH the parameters and sort by "the 42 values", select burst in ReportCaster.

A word of CAUTION!!!

Be sure to use APP DELETEF in your third/last fex if you don't need this any longer.

I ask that you look up these APP Commands and get a complete understanding of them before you use them.

Doug, The problem is I am having dynamic subheading. When I burst I am getting only one pdf page not the 2nd one. Please see some of the code I tested.


-DEFAULT &PO_NAME='Advantage Health Physicians'
-DEFAULT &PO_NAME2='Bronson Medical Group'


TABLE FILE CLQ1
PRINT
REPORTMONTH NOPRINT
COMPUTE DT_EOM/MDYY=DATEMOV(DATA_THROUGH_MDYY, 'EOM'); NOPRINT
COMPUTE DT_EOM2/MDYY=DATEMOV(DATA_THROUGH_MDYY2, 'EOM'); NOPRINT
BY PO_NAME NOPRINT
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"Commercial PPO"
"CLQI and Program Optimization Quality Score Card"
" "
" "
"&PO_NAME"
" "
" "
"Release Date: "Claims Through Date: "HeBW Date: "Supplemental Through Date:
WHERE (PO_NAME EQ &PO_NAME.(|FORMAT=A200V).PO_NAME:.QUOTEDSTRING) OR (PO_NAME EQ &PO_NAME2.(|FORMAT=A200V).PO_NAME2:.QUOTEDSTRING);
END

I don't know your requirement, but for me it doesn't make much sense to display &PO_NAME in the SUBHEAD when your report will display matching record either from &PO_NAME or &PO_NAME2.
Personally I will display the field PO_NAME since is going to be the selected data value and you are breaking based on that field (BY PO_NAME NOPRINT)
BY PO_NAME NOPRINT
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"Commercial PPO"
"CLQI and Program Optimization Quality Score Card"
" "
" "
"<PO_NAME"
" "
" "

Also, add the following to have page break (if I do understand well your need). It should fix your issue.
ON PO_NAME PAGE-BREAK

Sample code :
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
      MODEL
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT

WHERE (COUNTRY EQ '&CNTRY1.(FIND COUNTRY IN CAR).COUNTRY:.') OR (COUNTRY EQ '&CNTRY2.(FIND COUNTRY IN CAR).COUNTRY:.');

ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"Country: <COUNTRY"
""
ON COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END
