Arie,
Using The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows, you
can create a PDF file for any R:BASE output, including the
fancy reports with cool borders, images and fonts, etc.
You will need to use any PDF Writer driver, such as Adobe
Acrobat PDFWriter.
Example:
01. Launch TGRB2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows
02. CONNECT dbname IDENTIFIED BY UserId
03. Create a quick command file with the following:
-- Know your windows default printer
SET VAR vWindowPrinter = (CVAL('WindowsPrinter'))
-- Make PDFWriter as your current printer to create PDF
-- version of your output, such as report
PRNSETUP 'Acrobat PDFWriter'
OUTP PRINTER
PRINT ReportName WHERE ... ORDER BY ...
OUTP SCREEN
-- Switch back to your windows default printer
PRNSETUP .vWindowsPrinter
04. To read that PDF report:
LAUNCH PDFReportName.PDF
05. To quickly attach that PDF report as an attachment with
your default e-mail client:
LAUNCH mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This will launch your default e-mail client and then you
can attach PDF file as an attachment.
You can AUTOMATE the entire task too ...
