I created report that for one parameter specified has to print 2 pages of info – one page is detailed info, the other page is the summary info. Report is printing fine with one parameter input.
When I specify 2 or more parameter inputs it prints first page for every input and then second page for every input, but it is not what I need, I need first to print first and second pages for the first input parameter and then print first and second page for the second parameter info.
How I can achieve it? I used page set, but nothing special happened.
Thank you in advance for your support,

Hello, do you use Cognos 8 Report Studio?

If yes, try to take a look at the "Page Set" functionnality, it is a powerful way to generate a set of page (here 2 pages) for a list of elements (here the elements chosen in your parameter).
 
Yes, i use Cognos Report Studio 8, I tryed using Page set however is does not happen to me to print 2 pages then again 2 pages, maybe i set it up wrong. can you kindly provide a small example on how i can set it up? Thank you in advance,
Cognos Talk.
 
A very good example is given in the Report Studio User Guide, available on the Cognos Support Website.

For example, if you need to print 2 pages (one tab, one chart) for the year 2006, then the same 2 pages for the year 2007, you'll a query that returns 2006,2007. You can then link this query with the "page set".
 
Can you kindly provide knowledge base number for this case?
thanks!
 
It is not a KB n°. In the 'Report Studio User Guide', PDF document available on Cognos Support, there is an example of "Page Set" building at Chapter 3.
