Re: How do you give a multiple report SQR specific file names

[AM Matula <amatula@OIT.UMASS.EDU>]

Hi Robert (et al)

I just completed a multiple report SQR - I found I needed to call New-Report
*before* calling Use-Report in order to get it to work.  Odd...

Also, as regards the original post in Landre's _SQR In PeopleSoft_, page
196, it is mentioned you can use multiple -F flags to specify the files to
write to.

Have a good day!
