   When &export=pdf is part of the URL I catch it using IF (inExportFormat = 'pdf')

   And I do some special handling for the output.
   But instead of displaying it to the window, I would like it to just download the file.
   How can I cause that to happen?

   In furtherance to my question, I see the documentation has the following paragraph under Export options:
   content-disposition.xxx, 'attachment' | 'inline' - Set export Content-Disposition header to either 'attachment' or 'inline'.
   You can also use URL parameter 'content-disposition' with same options.
   Determines whether the report will be shown in the browser (inline) or downloaded as a file (attachment).

   So what would the syntax be in both ways:
   Would it be
   select 'dbr.export.options', 'content-disposition.pdf', 'attachment';

   and if adding to the url would it be
   https://server/mydbr/report....&export=pdf&content-disposition=attachment
   ?

   The correct command is:

   select 'dbr.export.options', 'content-disposition.pdf', 'attachment';

   See the documentation.

   Thanks, but I also need to know the second way of doing it.
   The documentation says
   You can also use URL parameter 'content-disposition' with same options.
   Please tell me the syntax for that:
   Is it
   https://server/mydbr/report....&export=pdf&content-disposition=attachment
   ?

   p.s. Am I correct in assuming that since the documentation only mentions URL regarding ontent-disposition, that the other export options will not work when specified on the URL itself?

   You can use the &content-disposition=attachment to override the export option set in the report.

   If you have a command:

   select 'dbr.export.options', 'content-disposition.pdf', 'inline';

   You can use the &content-disposition=attachment in the URL to override it.

   So are you saying that the URL parameter
   &content-disposition=attachment
   is ignored, if I my report does not have a
   select 'dbr.export.options', 'content-disposition.pdf',
   statement in the stored procedure itself.
   I was hoping, to have it ONLY in the URL.

   With the latest build it is enough to just use the URL parameter.

   Thanks.
   And with the new build (I assume you mean version 6.6),if I have &content-disposition=attachment (is that the correct syntax?) in the URL, but in the report itself I have
   select 'dbr.export.options', 'content-disposition.pdf', 'inline';
   which one overrides which?

   Run the updater to get the latest build and you do not need to use 'dbr.export.options', 'content-disposition.pdf', The URL parameter is enough. If you use both, the URL parameter will be the one used.
