How do I convert this so that the "New Reporter" will run it?
I converted everything to #CFILES and then referred to the wiki for info.
the wiki says: "If scripting languages are not your thing, a dialog-based front-end introduced in version 8.00 will lead you through the steps to creating your reports."
I don't want the "dialog based front-end", I want the scripting language.... I want to drop this rascal down as a .ibr file and run it. I've tried that with various libraries, but the REPORTER can't find it and keeps trying to get me to generate a new report.
not to worry... I've got until Friday morning to sort this...
Thanx (as always)
Bob "A"
P.S. none of my predecessors ever used REPORTER... for anything! to the best of my knowledge, this inventory valuation is the _ONLY_ thing I have to convert by Friday...
Hearty cheer and laughter may now commence in earnest by one and all!
the aforementioned REPORTER script (which I just converted to text format from 94/7 format):
INPUT LOCATION.COMP.
PRINTER SPL
TITLE INVENTORY VALUATION REPORT
TITLE REPORT NAME IS INDAL
SORT ON LOCATION.CODE
REPORT
USING LOC.TO.COMP
DEFINE EXTENSION=_
ON.HAND.BALANCE*LAST.INV.PRICE_
;10.2;EXTENSION
PRINT PART.NUMBER;DESCRIPTION;ON.HAND.BALANCE;LAST.INV.PRICE;EXTENSION
BREAK ON LOCATION.CODE
TOTAL EXTENSION
