ReportOption() - Hide Drill-Through link when report is emailed

[Cptkwik]

All
I have a requirement to modify a report meant to be viewed in HTML format while in Cognos 10 that has multiple drill-through links embedded within a list to various supporting reports. The requirement is to hide/switch - by use of conditional block and a Boolean block variable - between the hyperlink and plain text if the report is viewed outside of HTML format (ie not XLs or PDF) or if the email report option is used. I have created a Boolean Variable but am having some issues combining the two function selected in the Expression Definition field as I have never combined multiple functions in the same condition.
My attempt: 
ReportOutput() in ('HTML')
and not
(ReportOption ('email')=1 or ReportOption('burst')=1)

But I cannot get this to work. Any advice help is appreciated as IBM's documentation sucks.

Hi,
You can use reportoutput() in ('HTML') and assign it to the Drill through link text and reportoutput() not in ('HTML') for the plain text. Try if this helps.
Good luck

Thanks I will try that, but the complication comes when that same HTML report is emailed to users. The emailed HTML report is embedded in the email and my client does not want people to think they can or try to access the report through email. I need to hide the link and replace it with plain text when emailing any file type.

Hi,
Use a style variable and do the box type none. Below is the xml of a sample report. Try it.

Code Select Expand

<report xmlns="http://developer.cognos.com/schemas/report/12.0/" useStyleVersion="10" expressionLocale="en-us">
<modelPath>/content/folder[@name='xxxx']/package[@name='xxxx']/model[@name='model']</modelPath>
<drillBehavior modelBasedDrillThru="true"/>

Thanks to the members who responded so quickly. Talked with colleague and he pointed out that my original script did not include single quotes for the ReportOption function compare. eg I had ReportOption('email')=1 when I should have wrapped the one in single quotes as it the return value is a String.
The following Expression Definition works correctly:
if (
ReportOutput() in ('HTML')
and not
(ReportOption ('email')='1' or ReportOption('burst')='1')
)
then (1)
else (0)
