UniBasic is the best way, by far. --Bill

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. - Chuck Sanjeebkumar Sarangi wrote: > Hi > > What type of report is generated in Universe Basic ? > 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. > > Sanjeeb > =====-----=====-----===== > Notice: The information contained in this e-mail > message and/or attachments to it may contain > confidential or privileged information.
