I am using version 10 of RR and am calling rrwrun.exe to run reports from our applications using the /T option. I am using a text file control file. Everything works ok except that it takes a long time for the reports to either print to the screen or to a printer. I^v also noticed that there is alot of io taking place at the same time as if rr is serching the hard drive.____Is there a way to speed up the rrwrun print process, such as make the program memory resident? Ive set up directory defaults in the ini file and the control file has the location of the report and the data.______In a text file: following RRWRUN /T____I am including RI_WPTR=? if selecting a printer__and am including RPRINTER=D if sending the print to the screen.______This is one of the text control files used to print to the screen:____RI_REPORT=C:zdev eptformsBATCH_SUMMARY__RI_MASTER=C:homeBILLWRK__RI_PRINTER=D____How can I speed this process up?____Thanks__Richard

Try setting:____RI_WPTR=DEFAULT____rather than using a question mark and see if that speeds things up.____Kathleen__R&R Support

I tried this setting and the RI_WPTR=DEFAULT printed in half the time and works very well. We have more than one printer. Is there a way to get the same speed and have a printer choice offered by the windows environment? Also can the display to screen option be speeded up as well?

I added the following items to rrw.ini and the print process is now at least three times faster:____add PDFPRINTER=0 in the default section__add SHOWSPLASH=off in the preference section____I am curious what pdfprinter does in the ini file. This data should also __be included in the rsw.ini to cover all type of users.____Richard

It displays the launch of the PDF printer driver.____Kathleen__R&R Support

I am having a similar issue with the load time.__My application loops through passing a filter based on customer name. The Loop passes through approximately 250 times.__Any Ideas on how to speed up the process? __The current speed is 1 passes per min.____Thanks __Steve Rivituso__

Is this SQL or Xbase?____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathy, It is for SQL.

Check the SQL statement and make sure that the WHERE clause includes your selection criteria. If you are passing these via runtime, make sure you are using RI_WHERE rather than RI_FILTER so that the condition is passed to the SELECT statement so that it is evaluated on the server.____Kathleen__R&R Support
