Let say, I have 4 sub reports for the compound report. I want to display message : "There is no record with this selection, please try again" when 4 sub reports don't return any record. How can I do that ? Please advise.

Example of my code:
 
SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON
COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
UNITS=IN,$
SECTION=section1, LAYOUT=ON, METADATA='0.5^0.5^0.5^0.5', MERGE=OFF, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, PAGESIZE=TABLOID, $
PAGELAYOUT=1, NAME='Page layout 1', text='Page layout 1', TOC-LEVEL=1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5, TOPMARGIN=0.5, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, PAGESIZE=TABLOID,$


COMPONENT='report0', TEXT='report0', TOC-LEVEL=2, POSITION=(0.1 0.000), DIMENSION=(* *),$
COMPONENT='report1', TEXT='report1', TOC-LEVEL=2, POSITION=(0.1 1.300), DIMENSION=(* *),$
COMPONENT='report2', TEXT='report2', TOC-LEVEL=2, POSITION=(5.4 1.300), DIMENSION=(* *), $
COMPONENT='report3', TEXT='report3', TOC-LEVEL=2, POSITION=(8.0 1.300), DIMENSION=(* *), $

END

SET COMPONENT='report0'
-INCLUDE report0.fex
-RUN

SET COMPONENT='report1'
-INCLUDE report1.fex
-RUN
SET COMPONENT='report2'
-INCLUDE report2.fex
-RUN
SET COMPONENT = 'report3'
-INCLUDE report3.fex
-RUN

COMPOUND END


Thanks.

Hi hainguyen,

I would recommend to create 4 hold files respectively to each sub report; then evaluate all hold files on &RECORDS value. Let's say : &RECORDS1 - number of records from 1st hold.... &RECORDS4 - number of records for your 4th file.
Then if &RECORDS1+&RECORDS2+&RECORDS3+&RECORDS4=0 then execute report with "There is no record with this selection, please try again" message, otherwise - execute compound PDF report.

Cheers
