Re: GENERATION OF LABELS

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have Query and Office Vision?  These, in combination, make a 
good solution for generating labels.

Another alternative, (although you'll spend more time supporting it 
than you would generating RPG code), is to go Client Server.  You 
could either download necessary data to the PC or use an ODBC connection.

Judging from my coworkers and I's limited exposure to AFP utilities, 
I don't think they would qualify as an 'easier' solution.

Not within the O/S itself.  However IBM sells a product called Advanced Function
Print Utilities.  This product lets you create a quasi printer file on the 
screen
including embedding and formatting data fields from a physical file.  It also
lets you specify record selection criteria for the printing of these records.
This product is somewhat expensive though(we paid $5000 US for a P20 machine).

Disclaimer:  I am not a reseller of IBM products.
