Title: Editing the GLO rtm
Post by cathyh on 06/15/06 at 14:53:16

I am trying to make the header on the last page of the GL-O report with the new t6glo1.rtm to show up. I can't figure out why it doesn't. I got the column headings on the detail to show up on all pages by taking them out of the title area a putting them in the header area. But the column headings on the last page (subreport) are already in the header section.
There are certainly details about setting up these rtm forms that are not in any documentation that I have. Sure would be nice to have a resource for that.

I too would love to have some direction for these forms. Is this t6glo1.rtm a new addition - I looked for it under my dbamfg directory & did not see it. Was it included in the 5/8 update?

I have also noticed a couple EVO rpts print a 2nd page ie: GL-B, where can I find that rtm & what is its filename?

Yes, the T6GLO is an update. It gives you the option of a Text report (like the BK one) or a graphics one. The way you can find out what RTM it's using is when it pops up the little box that allows you to change it. If you don't get one (like in GL-B or the old BKGLO) then it's not an RTM but hard coded into the program.

There is a tutorial on the Report Builder offered at http://www.digital-metaphors.com/download/learning_reportbuilder.html

The Evo forms editor is based on this product so much of it is appropriate, although the full report builder does have capabilities beyond the scope of the forms editor.

So far when I am running the GL-O program using the t6 version, I don't see an option to run the report in text. There is only one version of the GLO rtm. I suppose I could change the program back to the BK version and it would run the text version that is embedded in the program.
I will take a look at the resource and see if it sheds some light on why the title on the last page doesn't show up. Meanwhile, whoever set up the RTM, do you have any ideas?

It's the last question after the selection for what batch types. Default is N.

Wow, it's amazing how trained the eye is to not see something new... I missed the new line entirely. Thanks, David.
It would be nice if the text or not button for reports could be set in defaults to Y or N.......
