subprograms which are in separate files possible?

[kaeserea]

Hi everybody!

I have to generate several reports which all have different output but which have similar -DEFAULTS and -SET routines.

That's why I would like to put all these -DEFAULTS and -SET in a different file (so it is easier to make changes later in one file instead of making these changes in every single procedure).

So my question is whether it is possible to do this and if yes how to include the separate file in my report procedure.

Eva,

Use

-INCLUDE FILENAME

Hi Grzegorz,

Thanks. But unfotunately I receive an error:

this error has to to with the file 'parameter' it may be missing the internal errorcode was '1023'

The file I wanted to include was created with the editor as all other files. Do I have to tell the system that it is indended to be an include?

Regards
Eva

Hi!

I finally found out what went wrong. I am using the "managed reporting" environment. With that you need to have to file you want to include in the same folder as the file that includes it. Additionally you need app/ in front of the filename. The filename can be determined by making a right click with the mouse on the file, selecting properties and then looking at href. Important: the name is case-sensítive and you should use the name without the suffix .fex

Eva,

I cannot receive the 1023 error in any way, but there are resolved casea on the IBI TechSupport pages. The solution to avoid the error is to use:
-MRNOEDIT BEGIN and -MRNOEDIT END while using -INCLUDE

Hope this helps

How about mapping the path in appaths and then calling it? Or actually mapping it in the cfg file? Different files for different users? That ought to work...well, atleast with batchruns it does. Cheers,
