Multiple documents (PDFs) from ONE rptdesign-file.

WFG

Probably one of the easiest tasks but I can't find any documentation.

I have a dataset with tons of data for e.g. several departments.
I want to generate one seperate document for each department. Naturally, I could spend a parameter (department-id) and build each report seperately (one call to the engine for each department-id) - but: is there a way (Scripting?) to let the report generate itself multiple times, grouped by an element of the dataset???

Many thanks

Hi Wil,

I don't know that there's a way to generate multiple PDF's by group using scripting or not, but you could definitely run the report, group by department, and use page breaks to have each department on its own page.

If I find a way to create multiple separate PDF's from one report using scripting, I'll post it in here.
