You can check the method's parameter type with <@VARINFO NAME="method$[PARAMETERNAME]" ATTRIBUTE="type"> inside your method so -if the parameter is type text (your current id) do exactly the same process -if parameter is type array (one column with multiple id) make a for loop to call the same method (recursive call).
Here is a small tcf exemple (only the method) wich won't run alone but it will allow you to see the method I've used to convert my old method to accept list of id. Hope this help :) Gauthier -----Message d'origine----- De: "David Shelley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 14/11/02 Objet: RE: Witango-Talk: object loop question Craig, I would recommend writing the method to accept an array of IDs as input, then loop through those and generate your reports. If you put the loop in your taf file you incur the extra overhead of calling the method 50 times. It's a normal for loop you need, not an object loop.

I have only had to prepare the report for one ID at a time so this was never an issue, but now I need to do the same thing for say an array of 50 IDs. So, my questions is, what is the most appropriate way of doing this? Should I just set up a normal FOR LOOP and execute the TCF for each row in the array and let the HTML accumulate. Or is this what an OBJECT LOOP is for? I've never used that action before and am not sure I completely get what it is asking for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
