I want to generate some A/R information reports from the UIA screen of a
customer's record.  I would like to be able to generate it as an HTML
document.  But the question is what is the fastest method.

I ma operating in a windows environment with a Novell file server for
the data.  I figure there are two ways to do this.  The first is use a
SYSTEM call using the START command to open a new window to run a report
while passing the customers number.  The other is to do the lookups and
generate the file with OPENFILE and WRITELN statements.

Executing a report in a separate screen will involve a little bit of a
delay to both open the screen and start RREPORT.  Does this mean that
the OPENFILE option would be quicker?

Thanks in advance,

Boaz
