Defining Sculptor 2 report compatibility mode¶

Define Sculptor 2 report compatibility mode |
SYNTAX
!compat report = 2
When this value is set to 2 (or less) in a Sculptor report program, the program runs in Sculptor 2 compatibility mode:
The initialisation code up to the first end statement is executed normally.
If at this point the program has not run a report, the first report defined in the code is executed automatically.
The program then terminates.
In a Unix or DOS shell, the report is output to the shell’s standard output, which can be redirected to a file. The third argument on the command line, if present, must be the required printer parameter file. Example:
srep myreport nullp
If a printer parameter file is not specified, the file named printer is used.
Exception: If srepwc is used to run the program, the printer parameter file winpm will be used and the report sent to the Windows Print Manager. If a printer parameter file is specified it must be valid but will be ignored.
