Well, if people are posting products for solutions to this problem, another
very effective way to customize (and limit) reports in MAPICS is to use New
Generation Software's IQ (Intelligent Query) product. We own package, and
it allows you to do everything that Query/400 does (fast and easy report
and file generation), plus you can have it do prompts for input in the
Record Selection criteria. It can output to a printed report, an iSeries
file, or a file on your PC desktop. I have found it to be a very useful,
flexible tool - I wish IBM would have released a newer version of Query
that has these options.
And no, I don't work for New Generation Software - just a satisfied user
who uses this product, and not as much as I probably should. I frequently
think (afterwards, of course), that I could have done a project, exported
to Excel (which it can do), and let the user do the report on their own.
Sometimes we old-timers get stuck in a rut..... :)
Of course, this entire topic on this thread would be unnecessary if MAPICS
would require beginning and ending values on the report request, with a
"print everything" option if desired. That should be on the "suggestion
list" (if it isn't).

NO sir they are not.
We offer a product Route One & iRoute that address these areas,
on one time or as part of automated job stream.
RouteOne can take info from a DB file on the 400
and reformat and send to PC. It also can take a spool file in full
or in part and send it to a PC formatted in most all MS and Unix formats
plus as PDF files and even email them If you want more details see
www.os-solutions.com and select the RouteOne option or call and we can
talk off line
