Concurrent Program : 2 copies (Orignal & Duplicate)

[vicky74]

Hi,

I am customizing an Apps Report whose output is to be taken in 2 copies. The first copy will have its Header as Original & the second as Duplicate. How do I do it? I do not want to use request sets. Any help will be appreciated

Regards,

Vicky

If you are customizing the report, you could add a CONCSUB call from the report to submit a second request to create a duplicate copy.
Pass a parameter that indicates this second job is a duplicate run and this can be used to:
a) Print a header message of 'DUPLICATE' (Default = 'ORIGINAL', when param=null)
b) Prevent the CONCSUB from firing again (prevent a never ending submission loop!)
You could also add a hidden parameter to switch off this functionality, in case you do not need it later.

Since this is a custom report, you can just duplicate the appropriate repeating frame with the layout modified to say Duplicate. Then, your single request will print both copies.
