Definitely a good idea when using an application, but 95% of the time I am just starting RBase to the command prompt, then connecting to the database I need, sometimes jumping back and forth between DB’s. I could create a custom script to run and set the parameter and then add the &variable to my print commands, but I also will see if RBTI might be interested in giving me a new option for my birthday next month.. ☺

Now that I think of it, I do this at one of my client's. Most people like the reports full screen but a couple with dual monitors didn't. So on startup we have a vPrnOpt = 'OPTION SCREEN | WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED' except for a few people flagged in our employee table where it's just 'OPTION SCREEN'. Every place in code I have to remember to do: PRINT reportname &vPrnOpt Karen -----Original Message----- From: MDRD <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Fri, Dec 28, 2012 11:03 am Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Is it real or an enhancement request ? Could you put Option Screen|window_state maximized in a VAR such as vPrntMax in a startup file Then when you print the report just add that VAR to the end of the Pri reportname whe X = Y statement. It may save you a little typing.

You know when you have been doing something for so long and then ask, is there a better way of doing something? I do a lot of work at the command prompt, and I print many a report from the command line using Pri reportname whe X = Y Now I know I can add the Option Screen|window_state maximized and get the report to come up full screen from the start, but that is a lot of extra typing. So I asked myself if there was an option in the general rbase settings or even inside of the report settings where you can always have it come up maximized even if you leave the option screen off you command. I know you can do this for the data browser (Settings-Data Browser- Open Maximized). Is there an option I am missing, or is this something I should add to my 2013 Wish list (Enhancement request) Frank Taylor – Director of Information Technology F.J.
