First, I would like to thank everyone in this forum - I have learned so much from all of you.

My question or problem is - I have a report I wrote that is using the "MORE" function. But it seems if I schedule the report through the library to archive it fails - "function unknown"- which I'm assuming is the MORE function. The report runs fine live. Has anyone run into this? If so do you know of a workaround.

To help you we would like to know what version you have.

I use the function many times in RC but we have version 7.1, I'm not sure if it worked under 5.xx

Strange Cathy, are you sure it's the MORE function that causes the problem?

Can you comment out that part and see if it works?

In an earlier version (4.3x?), I don't quite recall which, MORE did not work in Report Caster if the final table request (the one Caster distributes) was the request that contained the MORE. In that case, I had to hold the output and retable it.

The Report Caster Administration manual has Appendix C which gives you Tips and Techniques for coding reports to be run in Report Caster.

The section "Limitations for Using WebFOCUS Features" pg C-26 indicates that MORE is not supported in scheduled procedures.

Access to most releases from R52x, on multiple platforms.

I have several applications running each day or month that uses the code MORE several times.
All put the result in a temp HOLD file and the final report is created from that HOLD file.
So that should be tehe solution as suggested by N.Selph
