I am building a custom batch program and I want to add a secondary report (i.e for errors) to the Print Manager output for this report.

I added another $REPORT section to my .rpt file, and it included the error report as part of the .prt file rather than as a separate file and separate Print Manager record. Is there some trick to creating it as a separate file?

Thanks!

Did you also add a file in workdef and assign this file to the new report?

Yes, I did. When I did that, then I get "No XRef for RptSub(1) to iXFFXRef file" errors. I haven't been able to find squat about that error.

Here's one of my examples.
****************************************************

$ENDRPT

Work File Definition

Product Line TEST File Record Yes

Program Code ZH210 File Media Printer
File Name EXTRARPT Value/WsFld Id
Prefix File Status

Field Name Occurs Type Size 250

EXTRARPT-REC Alpha 250

Yep - that's exactly what my workdef looks like, except for the string length.

UGH! I'm a dork! I deleted my "old" job and created a new one and it worked fine. Of course.

Thanks for all your ideas, in any case!
