Razzak: The options are awesome; however, it appears that they are invoked from the command line only. What I would really like to see is the option of displaying the report to the screen and while the report is displayed, have a menu option that allows you to save/display the report in one of the available formats (pdf, text, etc.). When generating a report, particularly one that has a complex WHERE clause, users want to see the results displayed on the screen (to make sure that it is what they want) before printing. Will this option be available? or, will we have to select the output format from the command line only.
