Procedure: How to Set the Drill Through Destination

The following is an example of how to set the Drill Through destination for a report component in the Document Composer.

  1. Create a PDF compound document in the Document Composer and place all of the report components on the canvas. Select a report that has DRILLTHROUGH syntax specified.
  2. Select the Drill Through Destination drop-down list. The list displays all the other report component names on the document. Note: If the report that is selected does not have DRILLTHROUGH syntax specified, then the Drill Through Destination drop-down list will be deactivated.
  3. Select the destination report for the Drill Through.
