Hi folks,
I was having problems posting to the group, so I have been directly
corresponding to Malkie.
To summarize what we hashed out:
Malkie's original question: "Would you know if there is a way to print a list
of reports... "
Using the modified STE-BASE.str that Brian Hancock provided back in 2008, in
the zip file STE-DEF_020.zip, and STE-MGR.com, generate the file *.{L} (where
the asterisk represents the .str filename of your database). Open STE-BASE,
import the transaction log *{L} , Shift-F9, 8.
Generate the indexes and TXX files. STE-BASE is now populated with your
database information.
>From the main panel (STE-BASE.hdr) select the Reports link at the top of the
>panel, or F7 to exit the main panel, and cursor down to STE-BASE.REP, the
>report panel. Hit Enter.
The third field is the report name, so just make a new report and select that
field, and send the report listing to a file of your choosing.
In going back over my database info, I found that there were several reports
listed with a report number of " 0 ", or zero. What I eventually figured out,
was that those were reports from a menu. Since calling a report from a menu
actually stores a copy of the report.
I also tried to get Malkie to see the XML representation of his database in a
browser. That didn't work as well. He is using Chrome, in which we couldn't
find a way to open a file. I use Firefox, where the file menu has an Open
choice. Opera also has that option, and the XML opened there as well.
He couldn't open it with Chrome or Maxthon. Also IE gave him a listing of the
XML.
For Chrome, I tried typing in the path and filename, which was accepted, but
nothing showed up on the display. There are two javascript files and an .xsl
that need to be in with the STE.XML file so the browser can display the file
properly.
For Don Friedman and Tim Rude, last month, I was documenting my work database
(at the request of my boss), and I used the copy and paste method. So
apparently in the last month, this has been percolating in my head, and I
thought of this solution as soon as I saw Malkie's question.
