Limit to # reports run?

Post by Jeff_Fried_(Guest) » Wed Oct 12, 2005 12:24 am

Kathleen,____Is there a limit to how many reports can be run using rrwrun.exe?____For example, if I have a command line:____rrwrun pco1in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17____where pco1in.dbf is a control file with 17 records, should there be a problem with either 1) not all reports print or 2) one or two reports print out of order.____Thanks for you help.____Jeff

The only limit might be O/S dependent so that your command line length would need to be within what the O/S allows. Other than that there should not be a problem in enumerating record numbers for the control file on the command line.____The alternative would be to build a control table with only the required records and then just pass the name of the table.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____Thanks for your reply.____This sounds interesting. I^m not sure what you mean by this. If I already have a control file with 17 records (from my example), how would I pass the control table without the 17 arguments?____Jeff

Bingo!____Kathleen, I just went and tried rrwrun pco1in without arguments, and it did the job. I never knew you could exclude arguments from that command. It looks like this may be the solution. For some reason, and surprisingly, XP does not accept the 17 arguments. Thanks for your help.____Jeff
