Re: fancy reporting with Informix 4gl

Jeff, Have a look at a product called "ReForm". I used it many years ago on an insurance claims system written in Informix 4GL. You produce a standard report from Informix and send it to the ReForm printer. It reformats the data based on a template you create and *bingo* you get nice looking forms with line drawing characters, etc. I don't remember the company but I know it ran on a lot of Unix flavours. A WEB search should find the company. Later, At 08:26 AM 5/30/00 -0400, Parker, Jeff wrote: 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.
