I have created a BAQ report with JobNumber as an option field. I want to make sure the JobNumber is not left blank before executing the report.

Not sure if you’re on Classic or Kinetic screens… but you basically need to customize the print screen so that it won’t let the user print if that field is empty. I suspect you’d get all the jobs to print in that case.

I hate to be one of “those guys” - however, if you create this as an RDD report then you define the paramters in the BAQ and you can specify “Skip Condition if Empty”. That way you can control what is allowed.
