Yes! I remember RPT.... It's more of a script language, rather than
having any interface like SQL*ReportWriter does... You basically have a
declare section for your variables, then a section for defining
macros...once you've done that then you call the report function and your
arguments to the report function are the macros you've defined... There
are also formatting commands which are stored in files with an rpf
extension... If you need more information or an example, please let me know!
Later...
