Sami:
I can't see how the LISTOF function would help me. Yes I can
retrieve the values of a single column into a variable. But I
need to display a table with multiple columns:
John Smith 1/1/93 This is a test
Mary Jones 12/31/94 This is another test
that might wrap to 2 lines
I could grab each 'column' in a separate LISTOF, but there would
be no way to reliably show the 3 variables side by side because
something could go to more than one line.
The LISTOF function only lets you grab data from one column.
If I could do something like:
(LISTOF( ljs(fullname,20) & ljs(ctxt(date),10 & test)
With the number of tables being accessed by this report, I think
the only 2 options available are to continue doing it in DOS so
I can print multiple reports to a page (or in Windows printing
to a file but losing formatting) or have the report printed by
other software that supports 'subreports'. At the April conference
I mentioned that as my #1 request for reports, Razzak & Alex said
it was doable, but unfortunately not for 7.0, maybe 7.1
