The Painter is not only used for creating screen interfaces and Teach screens, but is also used for creating reports and report frames. A report is part of a system that is generated and used to produce output or to carry out specialized batch processing of a Database. It consists of report frames and report methods and a number of options that define the output of the report.
To add a report, perform the following:
Follow the instructions in Adding New Items
Select a Report class and provide a name for it.
Once the report has been added, you must add one or more report frames to it.
To add a report frame, perform the following:
Follow the instructions in Adding New Items.
Select a Frame class and provide a name for it.
