Chunking files?

This seems simple, but it doesn't seem to work. I've got a file with a field that contains different sites. The datafile has been sorted by the Site Field so all the same sites are grouped in the data file.

 

Next I created a callback rule "OnRecordStart" and used the following code:

if (FieldChanged(Field("Site")) == "true")

FusionPro.Composition.OpenNewOutputFile(Field("Site") + "." + FusionPro.Composition.outputFormatExtension);

 

My intent was to create a pdf for every site that contained all the records for that site, but alas, I'm getting just one pdf with all the records. There are no other rules in this job currently and the check box "Output to Multiple files" is un-checked when composing.

 

Any help on what I'm missing here? Tks.

I believe that "FieldChanged" takes the name of a field (in your case "Site") as its parameter rather than the actual value of the field.

 

Try this:

if (FieldChanged("Site"))
FusionPro.Composition.OpenNewOutputFile(Field("Site") + "." + FusionPro.Composition.outputFormatExtension);
