Previous Topic: Overriding Distribution List SpecificationsNext Topic: Considerations for Referencing a Distribution List


Example

To illustrate these overrides, assume that we have a report, U90586-R05, that has the same recipients as several other U90586 reports except that the distribution requirements are slightly different:

To be able to use the distribution list, D29LIST, we must disable printing for all of the distribution identifiers in the distribution list except D29PRES.

We can redefine the whole list of recipients to the report and avoid using the distribution list, but the following overrides too can accomplish the task.

The following example references the distribution list D29LIST, in a report

CA Deliver ----------- Report Definition Attributes (1) ---- Row 00001 of 00005 Command ===> Scroll ===> PAGE ID ---> U90586-R01 Job ---> U90586 Step ---> SALESTEP Procstep ---> DD ---> SALESRPT Type ---> STACK Distribution Specifications: Writer/ Days Sel Grp Distribution ID Out Dest Eformat MTWTFSS FICHE Y YYYYYYY D29LIST N YYYYYYY D29PRES Y PRT99 SECRTY ******************************* Bottom of Data ********************************

This table identifies the overrides that occur when destination, writer, output indicator, view restriction indicator, reprint indicator, and delete indictor specifications are specified for a distribution list in a report.

Note: The group indicator and copies are ignored for distribution list references.
