In reports projecting, what advantages can bring a script language over the common and more friendly wizards?
Who commonly use other reporting tools with the aim of show quite complex contents, can confirm that data aggregation and modification criteria available with wizards and dialogs are very limited (often too limited!) and do not match the real user requirements. Often a great effort has to be dedicated in report tuning: configure a lot of graphical elements with uncountable dialogs, set a lot of options on a lot of menus, substitute too complex interrogation with pure SQL code, etc… Actually, dialogs and wizards are useful only in very simply and standard report projecting. On the contrary, the main and great advantage of a repSL script is its flexibility and the capability of post-process information with totally user-defined criteria. Very useful is the possibility to manage any data exception independently from each other. If a few words: script language makes reporting very smart.
