Dynamic Subfile naming

Easiest is probably to write a quiz report to generate executable code in your
favourite scripting language (most efficient is probably Quiz, in this case).
I've not done it with subfiles myself, just reports. We generate up to 3000
reports for individual customers every night, and I use 'heading at customer
tab 1 "$ create" account-code', so that I can run the whole big 3000-customer
report as a DCL script to break it up.

For subfiles, try generating something like:

exec yourreport nogo
choose userid "userid1"
set subfile mysub-userid1
go
choose userid "userid2"
set subfile mysub-userid2
go
choose userid "userid3"
set subfile mysub-userid3
go

BY

init head tab 1 "exec yourreport nogo"
foot at userid tab 1 'choose userid "' tab 16 userid '"' skip &
	tab 1 "set subfile mysub-" tab 19 userid skip &
	tab 1 "go"
final foot tab 1 "exit"

or similar.
