Hi,

Is there anywhere a good example on how to produce/write report during the run time.

Thanks

The report engine in dBASE is not really supported during runtime.
However, Ronnie MacGregor (I believe) has created a tool that will allow
creation of reports ... you might check the newsgroups, and the various
websites (start with mine -- see below and use the dbase website), I
think I have links to his website, or to the dBASE webring which
definitely has links to his site).

A there can be no compiling of objects during runtime.

While this looks at face value as if it is not possible to create a new
report during run time, it is possible by indirect means by using the
much underrated and undervalued ability of dBASE to create objects at
runtime.

In other words it is possible to compile and distribute a compiled empty
report, which can be dynamically built at run time.

For an article with information on this see :

For a ready build solution to this problem see :

As Ken is hinting at, ... it is the _compiling_ of reports which is not
supported during runtime. The report engine itself is fully supported.

See other reply.
