I have been successful in scheduling a report in the Vista Task Manager using a Control file and the report gets created in the designated folder. My next attempt was to take an existing report from Cougar Mountain GL00036.rrw and added user parameters to my control file__eg etc__RI_FIELD1=0000__RI_FIELD2=ZZZZ__RI_FIELD3=01__RI_FIELD4=01____I got those by looking at the report in design mode and checking the CALCULATIONS / CALCULATED FIELDS list. I selected fields I thougt would work (comparing the online screen)__eg__RIPARAM("RI_FIELD3")____The report does not produce any output file.__No RRunout.out gets created____Can you give me some tips. Is there a better way to do this?____

You also need to change the tables used for the report.____The best way that I have found to run Cougar reports outside of Cougar is to first run them in Cougar and then create a report against the CMSRUNIN.DBF. Cougar adds one record to this table each time you run a report.____If you place all of the fields from CMSRUNIN on a summary band in R&R you can see the data for the last report that was run. If you export this band line to a DBF, then you have a control file for just that report.____Regards,__Kathleen__R&R Support
