RE: Report writer or query?

Rob,

If by "SSA's report writer" you are referring to UserVision, before you make
any decisions you should be aware that SSA is "Sunsetting" UserVision.

"In accordance with our policy to provide customers with no less than six
months notice of our decision to discontinue product support, SSA announces
that it will discontinue support for USERVision V1.3.4 and all previous
versions by 29-Feb-2000.  After this date, HelpLine will no longer accept
calls nor provide BMR fixes for any USERVision  release." (From Bulletin on
OGS)


Here are some links to other worthy 3rd party report and query writers:

Best wishes,

Geo.

generate reports on V6.1 Mixed-mode running on an AS/400.  Is it worth it?
Or do we train them on IBM's query?>
