hi Vij,
in your answer everything is fine but it need little bit
modification in variable expression.
it should be like as
case
when ReportOutput()= 'HTML' then 'HTML'
when ReportOutput()= 'PDF' then 'PDF'
when ReportOutput()= 'CSV' then 'CSV'
end
when we run the report and set the reportoutput as PDF,HTML
or CSV the specified page will come accordingly.
