R&R Report Writer Features Page 1 of 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are several different versions of R&R Report Writer:
* R&R Report Writer for dBASE and compatibles
* R&R Report Writer for Paradox
* R&R Report Writer for 1-2-3, Symphony and Quattro Pro
R&R lets you:
* Create, modify, and print reports from dBASE and compatible files, Paradox
or worksheets, using familiar Lotus-like commands and menus.
* Print reports from your own application programs with R&R Runtime,
included with an unlimited-use, royalty-free license (not available for
R&R Report Writer for 1-2-3, Symphony or Quattro Pro).
* Relate and report from up to 10 files at once, using one-to-one,
one-to-many, and approximate relations.
* Create instant row or columnar layouts, complete with headings and totals.
* Insert database fields and type text anywhere on the report layout, and
move them around using cursor keys. Move, copy, and delete blocks of fields
or lines.
* Position text and fields using a built-in ruler with layout pitch
specified in columns, inches, or centimeters. Set line heights to
accommodate fonts of different size.
* Create band-oriented report layouts with report title, page header and
footer, eight levels of nested group headers and footers, body detail, and
report summary areas.
* Set page dimensions in columns, inches, and centimeters, up to 254 columns
by 256 lines long.
* Print in 10, 12 or compressed pitch plus any proportional fonts supported
by your HP LaserJet, PostScript, Epson dot-matrix, or compatible printer.
Print bold, underline, italic and combinations. Download fonts if necessary.
Configure customized printer and font drivers.
* Refine report layouts with on-screen ZOOMable, WYSIWYG preview.
* Specify IF..THEN conditions for inclusion and exclusion of particular
fields, lines, or bands. Suppress detail band for quick summary reports.
* Calculate new fields using arithmetic, string, date, and logical
operators, plus more than 75 pre-defined functions and any number of
user-defined functions. Calculation expressions can include other calculated
fields and totals.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Sort records by up to eight fields, including calculated fields. Group
records in up to eight levels of nesting. Use group options to create
multi-page forms such as invoices and statements. Sort on non-US alphabets.
* Compute running totals, page totals, group subtotals, and grand totals
including: sum, count, average, minimum, maximum, variance, and standard
deviation. Use totals in calculations to calculate such things as weighted
averages.
* Pre-process totals to make them available to use anywhere in the report.
Print totals before detail. Use totals in computations such as percent-of
total. Sort and query by group totals.
* Select records for inclusion using plain-English query. Use relational and
logical operators, wildcards, and parentheses to achieve any level of
complexity. Query on contents of memo fields.
* Apply built-in data formats to numbers, dates, logical values, and
character strings, or create your own. Use international currency and date
formats, word-wrap and justify character strings, and much more.
* Optionally use automatic trim and blank line suppression for hand-typed
spacing of layouts such as names and addresses.
* Merge database fields, calculated fields, and totals into ASCII files or
dBASE memos for mail-merge and form letters. Apply print attributes and
fonts selectively within memos.
* Print any IBM Extended Characters supported by your printer, including
lines, boxes, shading, scientific and mathematical symbols and non-US
characters. Print lines and boxes with PostScript printers.
* Print up to 99 records across the page for multi-up layouts such as
mailing labels. Print the number of copies of each label based on data in
your database. Use standard sheet-style or continuous label stock.
* Output reports to the display with horizontal panning and optional
split-screen windows. Output reports to disk files with printer codes or in
ASCII format for later printing or integration with other software. Output
reports to printers, selecting from built-in configurations or customizing
your own.
* Save multiple report formats in a single DOS file for easy backup and
distribution. Run saved reports even after database file structures have
been modified.
