but doing that would be in many respects cloning good examples of what not to do

Laura,
  I am not sure what system you are on but if its Peoplesoft, you would 
probably want to look at their delivered reports and clone based on that.  
  SQRly yours,

If you are an experienced programmer, just find some examples -
hopefully of good code. Peoplesoft will not be much help there. SQR is
a very simple language but there are a few gotchas. One I can think of
is - if your SQL select block does not return any rows, no code in that
block will be executed. On the other hand, no new language will be all
that easy without some help - either good examples or some experienced
person to ask questions of or some text or, best of all, all of those.

Subject: [sqr-users] Training question

Does anyone know where I would be able to find some kind of training in
SQR coding? I feel like I'm drowning here. I've been working on this one
report for almost a month and am still not finished. 

I've only been able to find one book written on it and no tutorials out
there. 

I've looked online and can't seem to find any resources at all.

Thanks for any thoughts. 

Laura
