Ingres 2.6 / OpenROAD 4.1 

We have a fairly complicated report which we are transferring to a PC from 
Vax / VMS  (either native or callable from OpenROAD).

I remember talking to someone from Ingres ( in the CA days) who said that 
there were switches in modern report writer ( *.rw)  which automatically 
creates html documents. ( I am missing the PDF manual and my written one 
dates back to 6.4) 
I have written html using report writer  (and ESQLF) putting in all the 
html tags using print statements, The report in question does not easily 
lend itself to this (there are lots of BLOCKs and breaks). 


I just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and can point me in 
the right direction to generate HTML , PDF or any other format of file 
that can then be printed from a PC.

The report is run very infrequently so a batch file on the PC is more than 
OK.

thanks
Allan
