      I hate answers that strat with this but ... It depends on what you are trying to do.

      I have many smartnotes that burst to muiltiple people using bursting groups. In the bursting groups you just have multiple lines for the same criteria. Example I want to send a list of newly terminated people to multiple users for many different reasons. The end users need this info by process level. I create a bursting group where each person who needs the info is listed along with the pl they need it for. then on bursting tab of SN i tell it to use that bursting group. We are running about 80 notices with this method.

      I also have a few that burst to management and to accomplish the same thing I query duplicate rows of data with the only difference being the management email. So for each employee you have multiple rows of data one for my manager one for my director and one for my VP. When it bursts Each manager only gets the data for each employee once.

       I also have a few with hard coded email that I just have multiple columns of email addresses and have built seperate notices and burst to each email That does inflate the number of notices.

      If you still need help and my respons doesn't make sense let me know.

        Greetings this question is from a rookie with Lawson Smart Notifications. Has anyone tried building a single column in an infoset that contains multiple e-mail address. We have started this on a project that uses a case statement to build two email adresses in the same column to burst on that column. The problem arises that when the sql is run lets say in sql tools I code it similar to user1@email.com||';'||user2@email.com which works great. Until you try to use it in smart notifications. When used there with the JDBC driver the semi colon appears to be treated as a terminator and the quote is then unbalanced. If I change it to spaces or commas all runs well but nothing is sent. Any thoughts on how to get the semi-colon in as the address separator or suggestions or the proper separator for use with MS Outlook. Our rdbms is Oracle 11.2, our OS Aix 5.3.

        Thanks for any ideas!

          do you have to use it this way or is there some flexibility? You could just create multiple rows of the same data, the one unique attribute being the email address and then burst on that email address. This is what the bursting feature was meant for. Im not sure this is a solution you are looking for as there may be some other reason youre combining emails.

          Another option is to use distribution groups on your email server but this required you have defined groups with associated data for each group.
