SATREPORT |
What is SATREPORT |
SATREPORT is a tabular report layout tool. The output is (by default) processed by SATFILTER to produce "word procesor" quality reports.
SATREPORT can add front/back pages and divide the report in "group" sections. Cumulative counts of data items by group/report and Cumulative sums of column data items by group/report are automatically maintained.
SATREPORT is implemented as a script for easy portability.
How SATREPORT works |
SATREPORT reads TAB delimited columns of data from standard input. This is compatible with the normal "batch" output format from the MySQL database system.
Any SAT/ML tags applicable to SATFILTER may be used in the report definition to control the appearance of the printed report.
Release Status |
SATREPORT is currently at release Alpha2
System Requirements |
Any Unix system with a version of nawk which supports toupper and tolower.
Installation |
The directory location of the SATREPORT script (satreport) is not important, but it is suggested that it be placed in the /usr/local/bin directory.
The line of satreport containing the reference to nawk may need to be changed if nawk on your system is known by another name.
