Sanjeeb,
You can generate reports in many, many different ways. BASIC is
just one set of options. You should first look at the ReTrieve language,
which is a query language, like SQL, but with a much simpler syntax
since the JOINs are built into the schema, not the query.
As to BASIC, the PRINT command sends things to the designated
output (printer or screen), and repeating information can be done with a
simple loop. Your core structure will look something like this:
FERR = ''
OPEN 'AR' TO AR.FILE ELSE FERR:='AR;'
IF FERR # '' THEN ABORT 201, FERR
*
DONE = 0
LOOP
READNEXT AR.ID ELSE DONE = 1
UNTIL DONE DO
READ AR.REC FROM AR.FILE, AR.ID THEN
GOSUB REPORT.ON.ONE.RECORD
END
REPEAT
*
STOP
*
* Start of Subroutines
*
REPORT.ON.ONE.RECORD:
* Put your report row building logic here
RETURN
This logic would pull one record at a time from your AR file, based on
what ever list of records you have pre-selected, and do *whatever* your
REPORT.ON.ONE.RECORD subroutine does.

Can any one tell me how to write a program that will generate a report ?
Please give me some example that will provide me a clear idea regarding
reports generation in Universe Basic.
