I had used this in the past, but John's environment method has the
advantage of being able to pass an almost unlimited amount of variables
while having them named.<br>

<pre wrap="">To post from phone:
Another method would be to pass the parameters using the -r variables on the command line (another John suggestion) and @pm etc to retrieve the value(s).
One can combine parameters and hash them in the -v select process used to run the report.
I currently use the method to pass record numbers to select for a report of exceptions to run when the primary report finishes. These numbers are seperated by commas and I use strtok and mid to get each record number to place into an array.
A dash lookup handles selecting each record.
Both methods work nicely.

I want to have it to:
1) not ask which index to use
2)not stop at sort screen
3) not ask if I want to select all records (if possible)
3) bring up a blank extended selection set screen
What is the right combination of flags for this?
Thanks a lot!
Scott

You might want to consider John Esak's method of running a report from a
SYSTEM command that he has in his FilePro Survivor videos*. He creates
a window with dummy variables for the selection criteria where you can
do all the checks you want on the data, and allow the user to move
around until they are happy. Then, when they "escape" to run the report
he saves the selection criteria in environment variables using PUTENV
and runs the report with the SYSTEM command. A selection table is
created that reads in the environment variables using GETENV and selects
the records.
I just watched some of these last night and I'm sorry that I waited so
long to do so.
