You can merge reports to make them appear as one report. To merge a report you use the
$RPTPARMS tool. To make selected visual changes to the merged reports you can also use the
$RPTOVERLAP tool, in addition to
$RPTPARMS. Changes that you make using
$RPTOVERLAP override changes that are made using the Report Definer. For more information about these tools refer to
TIBCO Object Service Broker Shareable Tools.
The EMP_EXPENSE_MRG rule merges the reports EMP_EXPENSE and DEPT_EXPENSE_SUM. No changes are made to the length or width of the second report, DEPT_EXPENSE_SUM, a new page is ejected between the two reports, and the page numbers run consecutively throughout the report.
