We are currently running character based Informix 4gl applications on HP-UX platform. I need to be able to generate a fancy report (for invoicing, multiple fonts, bold face, italics, graphical boxes,etc). I realize I can embed HP print control language (PCL) in the 4gl code but am trying to avoid this. Do you know of a product which will run on HP-UX and allow design of a fancy report and which will interface with Informix 4gl code? Thanks for the help.

You can use Arachne, it would allow you to create HTML reports from your 4GL Report code with no need to change any code at all. The look of the HTML file could be changed using an external script file. For an example of what can be done please go to: http://www.querix.com/ then choose Arachne from Online Demos menu on the left hand side. Click on the Arachne Web Technology Report Demo on the page. You can then use any printer to print your reports from within a browser. -- Compliments of QueriX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QueriX 4GL Compilers are Informix 4GL Compatible, and Connection to other RDBMS such as Oracle.
