Get WEBfocus. Regular FOCUS is not enabled to provide this functionality.

I remember you called vax focus from DCL by executing an .exe and passing the parameter of the fex name.

It is possible to net share a vax directory (is it still "Pathworks"?) so you will be able to pick up output to a file.

Thus you need

1. A method to execute a vax prog from your webserver
2. A delay
3. You can then just redirect the server to your report which will be displayed in a browser but will not look very nice. Use SUBHEAD to embed HTML tags to tart the report up a bit.
