0 Thanks for replying. The context is the following: an automated system sends batches of messages to various communication media (like e-mail, phone numbers etc). A report is then generated to summarise what went correctly and what went wrong. By "correct sendings", I mean "the batches of messages that were sent without problems". 02br
