What about doing a Data Warehouse...
Reporting covers such a broad spectrum of needs and options that I'll
defer to your experience with data warehouses. My experience has been
mixed. Costs for data warehouse tools. IT resources and expertise for
setup and maintenance. End user training and use. Migration of data to
other platform. Migration of data to PCs. It would be helpful to
understand your experience.
have the users create their own reports...
Clerical staff may by challenged by it.
and get yourself out of the report generation
business...
It would be helpful if you could compare setup and maintenance of a data
warehouse along with end-user report generation to writing reports in
RPG and scheduling them to run in batch.
My gut feel is that a data warehouse wouldn't cover every need.
Particularly when pairing database update procedures with reports.
Printing bank statements in conjunction with end-of-month procedures,
for example.
