Re: Report Writer Tools IQ and FOURGEN

So, how does one obtain db4glgen-3.7? I used the FOURGEN product for a couple of weeks and was not too satisfied with it. Also... Any recommendations for report generators? I'm looking for something that we can integrate well with the applications we're developing. By "integrate well" I mean that our apps finds stuff and puts it into temp tables. I'd like something that we can use to let users (or us) predefine reports, let them select from a list of predefined reports and then generate the selected report from the rows selected into our temp table. ALSO.. (while I'm at it!) What's the recommended method of supporting "slave" terminal printers? My first inclination is to write some sort of little filter program that will open the external port on the HP terminal and then accept input piped to it from our 4gl app and output to the attached terminal printer. Any support for specific printer types would be localized in the filter program? Does someone have a better way? Way better, does someone already have something redistributable that does this? thx. andy -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andrew Hart | CompuTrac, Inc. | | (214) 234-4241 | 222 Municipal Drive | | andy@cmptrc.lonestar.org | Richardson, TX 75080 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
