How to Bundle Dynamic Reports

Dynamic reports can be defined to bundles using the Bundle specifications command. Enter B on the command line of the Report Definition Attributes panel.

Defining dynamic reports to a bundle is no different from a stacked report. The fixed name that is associated to the dynamic report is used to define the reports to a bundle.

In addition to defining the fixed name of the dynamic report to the bundle, distribution identifiers for the dynamic report must also be added to the bundle. Dynamic reports can generate many different distribution names. These distribution names can be a unique distribution identifier or a distribution list that contains many distribution identifiers. Any of these distribution identifier names can be added in the bundle. For the dynamic report to be included in the printed bundle, the distribution identifier and distribution list must have OUT set to “Y”. To simplify the process of identifying and adding dynamic distribution names to a bundle, wildcard names can be used.

When the bundle prints, the fixed name of the dynamic report that is defined in the bundle is replaced with the dynamically generated report name. If multiple report names are generated, each dynamic section is included in the bundle and sequenced by the report name.
