Re: AFPU (was RE: Free form for a printer and o specs)

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

My first recommendation is unless it is something that must be produced on
the IBM i is to use some form of GUI tool to write reports like SQL Server
Report Writer. Get the data by calling a stored procedure.

If I don't have a GUI report writer and it is a simple report I use STRQM
and then only if is something that I need to write an IBM print report do I
produce something on the server.
