Can WebFocus produce plain, formatted text reports? Like create a text file, 80 columns wide, formatted nicely?

Thanks,

Vipul

This will give you a report that looked like it came from a 3270 screen.

TABLE FILE ...

ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT STANDARD
ON TABLE SET WIDTH nn
ON TABLE SET PANEL nn
END

Where nn is some number ... 80 in your case.

Hope this helps

  • ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT DOC

Thanks Mikel and WFUser,

Now I have another question? How will I use these formats as mine is a compound report.

Assuming it is an HTML report and you want to embed the text, just this.

...
HOLD AS TXTTEST FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM filename

That html file would have a !IBI.FIL.TXTTEST;

If you mean a formatted report that has text and data mixed, i.e. a letter with imbedded data, then you could create the text of the letter as a heading in a FOCUS report and use
