Writing Reports with SEQUEL Software

SEQUEL Software is more than just another query tool for the System i—it’s a data access and analysis solution you can count on to meet your System i reporting needs.

Are you spending too much time creating reports to display your System i data? Do you need a report tool that lets you create sophisticated reports quickly and easily, including reports that can perform calculations and contain graphs, logos, or highlighting? SEQUEL Software offers two powerful reporting options you can use to present your System i data exactly the way you need it in professional‑quality reports:

The SEQUEL Report Writer

The SEQUEL Report Writer, included with SEQUEL, offers a Report wizard to help you develop your own SEQUEL reports. You can generate reports automatically from the default formats included with SEQUEL, or create a report from scratch.

You can drag and drop fields from a SEQUEL view (query) to the report layout, and add calculations and user-defined fields. The wizard guides you through the entire design process to create a report layout formatted exactly to your specifications.

You can control when and where totals and subtotals display, define line and page breaks, add conditional logic, save and print your results locally, or e-mail your results anywhere. You can even output PDF documents, complete with images and password protection.

The SEQUEL Client Report Option

The SEQUEL Client Report Option is an optional module that you use to design System i reports for PC printer output. You can specify fonts, colors, graphics, shading, borders, conditional highlighting, and other advanced formatting options to create high‑quality reports with a truly professional appearance.

Whatever level of System i reporting you need, SEQUEL has you covered. Find out more about SEQUEL Software reporting capabilities!
