Migration applications - Custom Reports

In Superbase 1.xx, the custom report system produced reports that were actually textual in nature. There reports would be produced by creating a program file that contained textual output commands, wrapped inside of a normal record selection statement (actually a specialized form of the SELECT statement). In Superbase 2 and beyond, they changed this so that the report writer would allow you to draw a form, and then the form would in turn be used with a companion program file
(that the report designer created) that would then be run together to produce the desired output.

Superbase 3.xx also includes a nifty feature that will take an QuickReport, or QBE report and turn it into an equivalent (if not plain looking) Custom Report. To use this feature, you enter into the Report Designer by selecting File, New Blank Report from the Superbase window, and then once the report designer is open, you select File, Open Query (SBQ) file. Then when you open the Query file (SBQ files are used for QuickReports and QBE templates) it will automatically create a usable form.
