Par2: Using Report Writer reports in C4 1998-09-01 -- Chris Moore After a little more research (& elbow grease), you can indirectly import
a report created in Report Writer into the report tool in C4.
Step 1: Create a dummy APP (Test.APP - This is for speed & saftey)
Step 2: Create a Report procedure name Test (or whatever), assign it
your primary reporting file that you will need.
Step 3: Save the APP & Export it to Test.TXA.
Step 4: Open the TXR file (created by Report Writer) and find your
report. Copy the report structure only.
Step 5: Open the TXA file (test.txa - created by C4)
Step 6: Find your Test report.
Step 7: Replace the 'Test' report structure with the one you copied from
the TXr file.
Step 8: Save & exit the TXA file
Step 9: Open up the Test.APP file & import Test.TXA.
Ta-Da - your 'Test' report procedure now has the same structure as the
report writer one.
It doesn't take as long as it sounds, I went into alot of detail (about
5 minutes to do it). You still have to re-create your variables but at
least now you could start using some 3rd party extensions or whatever.
Dan Presnell adds:
There is a shorter-cut. Instead of importing/exporting to txa, just
open the txr, copy the report structure, then click on the "..." button
next to your report in your procedure in your app, and past there.
