Creating
reports
You can use DataWindow objects to create standard business reports
such as financial statements, sales order reports, employee lists, or
inventory reports.
To create a production report, you:
-
Determine the type of report you want to produce
-
Build a DataWindow object to display data for the report
-
Place the DataWindow object in a DataWindow control on a window
or form -
Write code to perform the processing required to populate the
DataWindow control and print the contents as a report
Calling InfoMaker from an application
If your users have installed InfoMaker (the Appeon reporting
product), you can invoke InfoMaker from an application. This way you can
let your users create and save their own reports. To do this in
PowerBuilder, use the Run function. For information about invoking
InfoMaker, see the InfoMaker Users Guide.
