Can anyone point me in the direction to documentation on command switches for Concentric Data Systems v5.0a of RR Report Writer. I^ve looked everywhere and cannot find anyting on that version. All I need to know is how to print a report located in a library via a DOS batchfile. Should be simple, I^ve used the /L /R and /G to no avail. Should I use rr.exe or rruntime.exe????____Please help!__Thanks :)

The best way to do this is to create a runtime control file (a database where you add one record for each report) and then use the command line:____RRUN.EXE <control file name> <control file record number>____All of this is described in the R&R manual.____A sample control file called RRUNIN.DBF gets installed to the R&R directory by the RRINSTAL.EXE program.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Hi! Thanks Kathleen.____Just 2 more questions, do I have to include the brackets "c:>rrun.exe <rrunin.dbf> <1>" in the command line and do all the fields in the control file record need to be filled out? My RR Report writer was installed by the database maker (Itron in 1992) and came with no manual and Itron no longer supports RR v5.0a. ____Thanks agian :)

Okay Kathleen! I got it... Only needs the needed parameters "RI_X" ...____Thanks for all your help :) I REALLY, REALLY appriciate it...____:)
