Dick,
But is was a fun tool to program in! It was so string in that it (at the
time) was the only tool that could interface with OS files, Oracle, and
produce output at the same time. We bought it instead of RPT and RPF. I
almost had a heart-attack when Oracle classes showed us those POC and said
"this is our batch tool". I started searching immediately as we wanted to
throw away Cobol. SQR was the only choice. (This is back about 10 years
ago).
Have you tried the "Reverse Hebrew Wrap" printing option? :)
When things got slow, I'd bring that baby up for a few laughs.

Tom,
I regret to say that SQR is still running around. SOD awful piece of
crap
that should have dies along with RPT and RPF. PeopleSoft makes a lot of use
of
it & it is a REAL performance boat anchor.

Raj,
I know SQR. Bought it when it was being peddled by Sql Solutions. Great
tool! Somehow, it never got marketed correctly. I had heard that at one
point, Oracle "almost" bought it, and was going to position it as one of its
products. But that boat has sailed.

Wait till you see some of the SQL that we run ... it is dynamic sql used
within SQR (a reporting tool). Compared to that, this is production quality.
