Hi, I want to use this script :

data\_list = [[“TYN”,“001”],[“TYN”,“002”],[“TYN”,“003”],[“TYN”,“004”],[“YPG”,“001”]]  
today = system.date.now()  
date = system.date.format(today, “yyyy\_MM\_dd\_HH\_mm\_ss”)  
for data in data\_list:  
paths = “D:\reports” + data[0] + + “\report\_Auto”  
settings = {“path”:paths, “fileName”:data[0]+"\_"+data[1]+“_report\_Auto_” + str(date) + “.pdf”, “format”:“pdf”}  
system.report.executeAndDistribute(path=“report\_Auto”, project=“test”,action=“save”, actionSettings=settings)

maybe there’s something wrong with “paths”, I want to dynamic change the paths by “data\_list”, how can I do?

Path only supports a single filepath. If you want to save the same report to multiple destinations, use system.report.executeReport to get a byte array, then system.file.writeFile to write it to each of your separate destinations.

There are examples in the documentation for each function: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com:8443/display/DOC79/system.report.executeReport](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com:8443/display/DOC79/system.report.executeReport) and [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com:8443/display/DOC79/system.file.writeFile](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com:8443/display/DOC79/system.file.writeFile)
