Hi There

We have few powerbuilder reports which need to be placed in a batch job to generate million of PDF reports.

Currently each reports is created using many different templates with chart and tabular data. And they need input parameter as an employee. Now we need to generate such PDF reports for million of employees in the database.

NEED IT SOON.

Thanks in advance for all the help.
 
Use two DataWindows/DataStores, with one being the employee list, and the other being the report. Loop through the employees, grab their ID, retrieve the report with that ID, and save to PDF.
 
Thanks for the suggestion. Just one question can we run it in batch.
 
Batch in offline mode as a job I meant.
