PK98469: REPORT WITH DRILL THROUGH HYPERLINK TO ITSELF WON'T OUTPUT TO PDF IN COGNOS CONNECTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Report with a hyperlink that drill throughs to itself with the
  intention of opening a new window with the same report in pdf
  format does not work when running from cognos connection. When
  running report from report studio, the report runs as intended,
  as in clicking the hyperlink with the drill through opens a new
  window with the same report in pdf format. This occurs in Cognos
  8.4. However in Cognos 8.3, both running the same report from
  cognos connection and from report studio yield the the desired
  result, in that the hyperlink that drill through to the same
  report itself opens a new window with the report in pdf format.
  

Local fix

• Make a copy of report and drill through from one report to other
  instead of itself.
