Re: -F Flag question

[Brian Nice <bnice@CCCI.ORG>]

Try using the new-report command. If you issue this command before anything gets printed on the page, you can set what you want the output file to be.

  let $file = $year || $month || $day || '.SUM'
  new-report $file

As you switch between reports, I believe that you can just issue a new-report command for each one.

  declare-report report1
  ...
  declare report report2
  ...

  use-report report1
  new-report $file1
    <print stuff here to report1>
  use-report report2
  new-report $file2
    <print stuff here to report2>

Just make sure that the new-report command is used before anything is printed on any of the reports that you declare.

In my case, platform is Win95, Database SQL Server 6.5.

I'm also interested in the solution to Kara's question. I have another
query though. Is there a way to specify the name of output report
(multiple reports, in fact) file during run-time, in the program itself?
I wish to name my reports like YYYYMMDD.SUM, YYYYMMDD.DTL depending on a
date calculated in the program itself.

TIA,
Parijat.
