Re: [Info-Ingres] Report writer - to html or PDF

Hello Allan,

With Ice (see Web Deployment Option User Guide) you can call a report in the
browser (see Ice macro INCLUDE I gess) to have it on HTML style. Then you
can perhap's use PDF Creator to convert what you see in PDF style or use it
to print .ps file.

INCLUDE function in Ice only rely in interactive mode, not batch I guess

Hope this help,
Jean-Pierre
