Robot Reports
Robot Reports allows you to manage and visualize System i reports in an optimized way, through the use of Containers, Segmentation and Distribution. Its graphical interface, easy to understand and very secure, allows you to save a lot of money on:
Printing.
Separation and classification of reports while keeping your company's data confidential.
Transform multiple paper reports into quick access to electronically stored reports
Sophisticated reporting:
Robot Reports allows you to set rules for segmenting reports or summarizing the detail, allowing fractional distribution for each user and printing on any network printer.
A powerful report archiver, Robot Reports organizes your report history and allows you to easily identify them. You can archive your reports on different types of devices, such as disks, optical disks, tape drives, and create indexes for quick later access.
You can select different archiving strategies for each report, how long the report will remain online for immediate access, how long it will be on temporary storage drives, and how long it will be on extended storage drives.
Create the reports you need:
Robot Reports incorporates the Operator Assistance Language (OPAL), which allows you to write simple procedures for creating the reports you need. OPAL can read a report line by line and act on what it has interpreted. Depending on the directives you specify, OPAL may include or exclude pages and/or lines from the report.
Why should I choose Robot Reports?
