When Unloading forms and reports, always SET NULL -0-
Otherwise the target will get created incorrectly.

Subject: Rbase 6.1a unloading and loading reports
I am working with an Rbase 6.1a database. I have designed a new reports
for a client on the copy of the database at my office. I have unload
the report using the command:
out w3form.rep
unlaod data from sys_reports whe sys_report_name8 = 'w3form'
out screen
This creates a text file just fine. When I took it to the client's the
office, I used the command:
drop report w3form
input w3form.rep
The problem is that the I cannot use the imported report on the clients
computer. The only difference between the report on the client's
computer and the new one that I imported is the location of the fields
and variables. No variable or column definitions have been changed.
When I try to edit the report, I get the error message "Report
definition incomplete". I get the same message if I unload and import
the report with the database at my office. I have tried numerous
reports and get the same result each time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Damian
