I hate to disagree with someone who just sent some wonderful code for triggers (many thanks, btw), but I guess I still will argue the point. If I can get all the functions provided by Crystal in an AS/400 based-package, why should I move off? I can create one Sequel view and access it from a CL program, from a green screen interface or from a PC client. All three will give me the same results. All three approaches give me the ability to move the output to a text report, an Excel spreadsheet, or a database file. For what it's worth, I had Crystal Reports. I got tired of licensing issues and moved everything onto Sequel. Now that it supports non-DB2 databases, there's no way I'm going back.
