Focus Friends:

Does anybody have a way for a user to to pass &variables from a launch page to a job scheduled in Report Caster? Currently the users call up and we hard-code the focexec and schedule the job.

Thanks in advance,
Best wishes for the holidays, including Festivus.

Sandy, I think you have two options

1. Write API for RC jobs, which would be more involved.

2. Easy way is to write the variable to a text file and in your scheduled job read the variabe from this text file.

Good Luck!

Festivus! lol. I actually know what that is Big Grin
you know you can pass parms to caster via the 'advanced' settings window in the caster api, and you don't have to 'hardcode' the fex...just set the parms.
You can have a set of caster jobs, all running the same fex, just passing a different set of parms. And ibi has some product called 2wayEmail--i've never used it...but the user emails the caster and caster returns the report.
