Re: SQR 4.3 vs. Actuate ?.?

[Chris Marshall <crmarsha@ADVO.COM>]

Franck -

I checked out the site, however I found no discussion of the SQR language or reference materials on the SQR language.

It was unclear from the discussion of VisualSQRIBE or PowerSQRIBE exactly what they were. Are they new IDE's and/or debuggers for SQR?

Thanks,

to seach and view the report he needs.

Crystal, BO,......)

departement in a secure way
