Hi All,

I want to create a template and use it for generating reports based on this template. Can you pls tell me how to proceed with it?

The template contains an image, page headings and footings.

Thanks in advance..

Praveen

We do this too. We have a logo and style to the heading and footing. All you need to do is start a new fex and put everything in it that you want to be standard in all of your reports. Then you save that style, give it a meaningful name to you. It will be saved as a .sty file in your other folder. Now you can use it in any report by just doing -INCLUDE in the style section of the fex. Here is an example of how we do it. The name of our style is kvcc_wf.sty. 

 
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = kvcc_wf,
$
ENDSTYLE


Hope this helps.

ma

We do similar things.

All our common sections of report are in INCLUDE files, these are driven by amper variables to set whats needed.

Are you wanting your template to 'style' your reports or are you wanting a template that has
the same Heading and Footing 'text'. We may be talking about two different things, I just wanted to be clear. We also do what Waz does.
