I have a report with store sales information. This information is kept on a separate line for each store. I would like to send this information to the stores on a daily basis. but each store must send its own figures in the mail. how can I do that?

You create a report per store and then send this store specific report to the store specific email address.

 

First step: Write the program which creates the report and sends it via email for a single store. 

Then wrap a macro around this code and replace the relevant bits (like the email address) with macro variables which you can pass in as parameters to the macro.

Now create a data set with these parameters per store (1 row per store) and use a call execute where you call the macro and pass in the parameter values (1 call of the macro per store).
