Using one Button to run a Report and Send Report via email

[tkjenkin]

I would like to know if anyone has ever combined running a report and sending a report to email with one button. 
To run the PDF I have this logic in one button.

<input type='Button' value="Open in PDF"  onclick="javascript:gCognosViewer.getRV().viewReport('PDF')">

Then I have this logic to send Report by Email

One Html

<script>
function emailPage()
{
   try   {window['oCV'+'_THIS_'].getRV().SendReport(false);}
   catch (err) {}
}
</script>

Second Html


<input type='Button' value = "Email Report"
onclick="emailPage()"
value="Email"
ACCESSKEY="e"
title="Keyboard shortcut: alt-e">

I have also tried using this logic to run the PDF.


<script>
CViewerManager.prototype.runPDF = function ()
{   var oReq = new ViewerDispatcherEntry(this.getCV());
  oReq.addFormField("ui.action","render");
  oReq.addFormField("run.outputFormat","PDF");
  this.viewPDFInNewWindow(oReq);
style = "background-color:#cc2d30;width: 155px;height: 23px;border:none; color:#FFFFFF; font:bold";
};
</script>
<input type="button" onclick="window['oCV'+'_THIS_'].getRV().runPDF()" value="Open in PDF"/>

yes.  1st html item with this on my main prompt page

<script>
function nextPage() {
   oCR.sendRequest(cognos.Report.Action.NEXT)
}
</script>

<a href="JavaScript:nextPage()">

Once I click the email report: this goes to the second prompt page with this html item on it

<script>
function autoRefresh() {
setTimeout(oCR.sendRequest(cognos.Report.Action.NEXT), 1000);

}
autoRefresh();
</script>
