Fisher:

First of all thanks for your reply.

Let me provide more details. We have a table in an application that will be
generated at runtime. There are some fixed fields in it and some fields
would be added at the run time.

Now there are reports based on this file which will use some fixed fields
and some added fields. We are using RLU for designing reports.

In PF we can add more fields but in RLU since you design the layout then at
the runtime how can we amend the RLU design.

Now as you said that it can be done through RPG. Please throw some light on
as to how we do this in RPG or embedded SQL.

Thanks and Regards,
Dheeraj Khanna

What do you mean by "dynamically designed using RLU"?  Will the end users be
specifying columns, calculations, and the data that goes into them?  If so,
you should know this is not a trivial task to accomplish in RPG, even with
dynamically built embedded SQL.  I once designed something like this, but
the column headings were unavailable for change and the data was strictly
account balance information from Software 2000.

There are products out there called portals and other products that will
retrieve and format AS/400 data for significantly less money than will be
spent creating one yourself.  If you ask the Midrange-L list, you will
probably get some good suggestions.

Hope that helps.

We are working on an application for which the requirement is of dynamically
designing of RLU. Also they should be displayed and handled through RPG
program.
