HI I wanted to get some opinions from you guys. We have a request to create a front end with Crystal Reports. The idea is that the user will select which fields they want to see
and then pass these to the Crystal Report. The data resides on the Iseries. I see so far that time to run the CR is pretty slow because they are doing alot of the processing on Crystal (using the Report Record Selection) but I want to create Logical files for this purpose.
 
But I wanted to get some feedback on how you may have done this in the past. Does it work out well for the users that  they select fields ? I can think of one problem that the business rules and logic are not involved per se, unless you code for that. I would like to hear if you have been successful to implement this type of solution. I should note that i have gotten this same type of request in my other job, a sql server shop where we are going to create an XML file for the user.
 
Thank you,
Paul
