If you just do a compound pdf...with no Filedefs..you can put it in ReportCaster..with the selection PDF and have it go to an E-mail address...that should work.

thanks Prarie.

however i come across the challenge that i save the rpt to
ON TABLE HOLD AS xxx, and it does not perform well with WC. and then i switch to ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF..i can send out the email with PDF attachement successfully, but with no context.. just blank pages...

trying to figure out my next approach to fix this.???!!!

thank you all to the response.

Put a second task, of type "file" to pick up the file from where you have FILEDEF'd it and email the result.
(This only works for email, not ftp).

When you said 'Web Caster' I assumed you meant 'Report Caster'. In Report Caster, "File" is a Report Caster schedule task option, not a command used in a focexec.
