Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Report Builder Deployment

> ## Running multiple reports

> The table interface allows you to run multiple reports or batches of reports with a single invocation of Report Engine. The advantage to processing multiple reports in this manner is that Report Engine only gets invoked once, thus eliminating the time it takes to start and initialize Report Engine for the second and subsequent reports.

> By default, Report Engine processes all the records in the Report Engine table you specify when you invoke it. Therefore, to run multiple reports, simply include all the reports you want to run in a single Report Engine table. To run only a portion of the reports in the Report Engine table, use the Report Tag (`-rbtag`) startup parameter to pass a value to be matched against the `RB-TAG` field. For information about the`RB-TAG` parameter, see Chapter 3, " Report Engine Parameters."

> When Report Engine processes multiple reports and encounters a problem or error with one report, it stops processing that report and moves on to the next one. Report Engine stops processing all reports only if it encounters a severe problem, such as the inability to locate a required `DLL` file or when the Report Engine table is missing a field.
