Hi,

There is a standard session that I do not have the source code.
When a user prints from that session, there will be a list of reports to select.
When a specific report is selected to print, it must automatically print another report with it using the same set of data that the selected report is printed.
Is it possible?

I have tried
- brp.open()
- spool.open()
- AFS
for both the report script, session extension, and report extension.
None of them works.

Regards,
Thana

I have also tried Vamsi's Wrapper Scripts to extend somewhere the printing process but to no avail.
Anyone got a suggestion?

I presume you have ES 10.6; have you already tried with "Get Alternative Report" hook on report extension?

I tried it. When the report is printed, it prints alternative report instead, which is not what I am looking for.
I want to print both the selected report and another report.

How did AFS not work? I mean you run one session and get a report, and then run a second session to get another report. Of course I am assuming they are different scripts that actually generate report data - just happens to be the same data.

Now if you are running the first report and then want to use the data actually in that report to send to another report that is different. What I would do - is run the report to disc, then run it again to printer. Then I would have my own script to read in the disc version of the report, format or create variables, etc. then feed what I read into another report.

What I actually did once was run a series of reports to disc via over night jobs. These were all Work center related reports. Then a user could come in the next morning, put in his/her work center in a session, click continune. I would then read thru those 4 or 5 reports and only pull the information for their workcenter. Now mine was easy cause I had to do was read the header records, fine the work center - then just straight up print that page. My report was a single layout with one field - like a 188 character field. That kept the page break correct even with all the blank lines.

Thanks Mark. I will try what you suggested.
