Printing multiple reports in one report

[giovanni.lucarelli]

hello to everybody!

first of all, sorry for my english  :(

it's a lot of days I'm working to solve this problem... it's seems very easy....but...

however:

for example, I have 3 reports (Cognos 8.2 - Report Studio); I would 1 report where I can select which report I want to print in pdf.
maybe using rendering variables....

can anybody help me?

thanks in advance

Perhaps the best way to do this is to create a prompt page that uses a radio button prompt that lists the names of each of the 3 reports.

You can then use this parameter combined with the Render Variable property to decide which List or Crosstab table to show.

It works well.

thanks very mick...

just this question:

in the single report that i'm going to desing (the report that cointains the 3 reports) must to have all the queries that define the 3 reports? is it right?


or there is a method to link the 3 reports to the new one?

thanks again

Essentially it's just one report that contain the 3 queries.  You can copy the cntent across from the current 3 separate reports to the new one.

Mick,

I did what u told me... thanks very much... just another little problem...

I create a new report, 3 pages one for each (sub)report ( let me call them A, B, C) and a prompt page with a static choise check-box prompt:
A
B
C
with multiple-select

then I create a render variable defined as ParamDisplayValue(?par?) that assumes values A, B, C...

so if i select A I will see just Report A, i select B i will see just Report B, and so on...

but I don't know how to manage multiple selection or rather if I select A and B I wanna see Reports A and B....  ??? ???

thanks again

for your check box prompt , change the query like <object name> in (?Param_name?), and in properties Set "Multi-selct" to 'Yes'....hope it will solve ur problem

I solved the problem with one check-box for each page... who want to know more, write me.

ciao ciao
