[CLOSED] Report Define as additional Output in Compound report
I have an unusual request in an attempt to verify source control.

Can you output the .fex language of a report as a pre or post compond report in pdf format?

Thanks

In 7.7 if you create a master file designed to just read a long line of text you can filedef your fex to it and it can be read like any other data source.

e.g.
Master file DUMMY.MAS:

  FILENAME=DUMMY, SUFFIX=FIX       
SEGNAME=DUMMY, SEGTYPE=S0, $                                                   
  FIELDNAME=ALLDATA, ALIAS=ALLDATA, FORMAT=A4000, $   


FILEDEF DUMMY DISK MYFEX.FEX

TABLE FILE DUMMY
PRINT ALLDATA
END

I believe things are different in version 8 but I'm not there yet!
