Hello everyone,
Is there a way inside a baan script to have 3 reports open at one time sending data to each one and unix only create one request file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:D

Robert,

Lets say you have 3 reports being generated by one program script. But you do not want to present to the user the "Select Device" screen 3 times. This is possible by using tccomdll0010 in BaanERP or include with similar name in Baan IV or brp.open with mode = 0 for the second and third reports if your script looks like the following:


open.report.1
send.data.to.report.1
close.report.1
open.report.2
send.data.to.report.2
close.report.2
open.report.3
send.data.to.report.3
close.report.3

If you use brp.open three times then after brp.close has been called you will need to merge the three created files into one using the seq.* functions.

Alternatively: create one report, and use an indicator variable in the report layout print expressions to control which layout needs to be printed.

Phil,

I was thinking more on the lines of using "rewrite mode" for the first report and "append mode" for the second and third reports.

As always thanks for the fast reply folks.
I will try these solutions. We are on Baan IV

Thanks
