page layout, graphics to printers from i4gl reports.
Posted in 1994
I am looking to find a better way to create 4GL reports (Vertical lines, boxes, shading, etc) direct from 4gl. Is there an addon program/filter one can use to (ideally) design a form and place it in a file. Then I can feed this "filter" a listing of things to print in the fields on that form. The filter would then output (postscript or pcl) a form that can be pretty printed on a printer? I've designed ascii forms forever and dream of the day I can print nice looking statements and forms without inserting pre-printed forms... A *BIG* plus here would be the ability to add BARCODES to the output... SYSTEM: SCO ODT 3.0 i486 box running Informix Online V5.01 w/ support. Any alternatives to the filter idea would be greatly appreciated. -- Daniel Wynalda | (616) 866-1561 X3022 Ham:N8KUD Net:danielw@wyn386.mi.org Wynalda Litho Inc. | 8221 Graphic Industrial Pk. | Rockford, MI 49341
