Steve:
1) Interesting that so far you're the only one who cares about the location of the .d00 files. I thought this was a big deal for others also.
2) By Report Generator Spec Language I mean the instructions you use to create a report whether the spec file is a text file (.ibr) or a CED file - Instructions such as INPUT, REPORT, PRINT, etc. We need to add a new statement or variation of an existing one to specify which key to read by.
3) Currently you can only make use of the 2005 Reporter enhancements if your report spec file is a .ibr. I'm suggesting we support both .ibr and CED spec files.
Yes, BREAK and TOTAL are in the Reporter language. By design you can't specify these in ViewMgr since it's supposed to output a simple flat file where every record has the same layout. What he'd like (and I'm sure you would also) is a dialog-based front end to help you build a Report.
