Varying output types [Solved]
I've searched the sight and haven't seen anything that would help me.

My question is: If you have a drop down box for the user to select output type (PDF, EXCEL, Etc.), if the users selects PDF, I want to put a literal identifier in the footer of the page. Can this be done?

If the users choose an output type, you have that in a parameter. You can then code some Dialog Manager to place that in the footer.

 
-SET &LITERAL_STUFF=IF &WFFMT EQ 'PDF' THEN 'I want to see this sentence' ELSE '';

and in the footer place the variable &LITERAL_STUFF
