Reports Are Converted to Static 4GL Procedures
Reporter reports may be converted to static 4GL procedures, which can be run from any OpenROAD application, independently from Reporter or its catalogs.
If the original report uses image trims, the procedure requires additional support:
• If image trims are stored in the design database, at runtime an "Image Server" frame is necessary to provide access to the images unless a copy of the Reporter design database image catalogs is accessible.
• If image trims are stored on disk at design time, a variable can be set to point to a directory containing copies of the images on the deployment machine.
