I am a little confused on how to do burst reporting with a dynamic address list. I found this article , but I am confused as to how to create the master file it talks about. I have an employee table that contains the burst value and a username, which I will use a define field to tack on @domain.com. Maybe I am missing something obvious here, but if anyone could assist, it would be greatly appreciated.
In the fex you write to create the dynamic list you willneed two columns of output - one named OUTPUT and one named DEST (both uppercase and in that order).
Place the burst value in VALUE and the email address in DEST and then just PCHOLD the output.
SET ASNAMES = ON
TABLE FILE filename
PRINT BURST_VALUE AS 'VALUE'
EMAIL_ADDRESS AS 'DEST'
ON TABLE PCHOLD
END
RC will do the rest. Simple.

I did as you specified Tony, and it finally worked. I figured out that you cannot use define fields in this file, not sure why, but you just cannot. I changed the field to be an email address field instead of just the username where I tack on the @domain.com.
I got everything to work now, using the DEFINE fields. Before, I kept getting an error while creating the dynamic address list. Not sure what it was, maybe syntax was just a little different, but now it works.
