Hello everyone.
I would like to ask a question related to exporting and importing reports with IM.
Our company creates software whose reports could be modified directly by the end user. To interact between our software and the creation / modification of reports, it would be quite interesting to export the reports in srd format, to then be able to import them directly into IM. But IM doesn't give the possibility to manage the import of an srd, unlike Powerbuilder. The same behavior could be useful from IM, that is to be able to export (once modified) the report in SRD format. By doing so from our Software, thanks to the libraryImport command we could import (in a dedicated PBL), the new report or the modified one.
Currently, in order to do this, we must necessarily connect the same PBL used by the IM project (very dangerous) to the libraryList.
If they also enabled DW IM Export and IMPORT, I'm sure it would be easier to share the reports and maybe Appeon would sell some more IMs.

It would be interesting to know if others have identified the same need as me.

Thank you.

Hi Alessandro;

   FWIW: Here is a registry hack that I've used before. For example in IM2021:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sybase\InfoMaker\21.0\Toolbar\1004 0]

Items = 1268 -1 1630 1262 1618 1266 1614 1616 1620 1456 1322 -1 2290  

FYI: The above registry modification worked for me and added the Import & Export icons (1614 & 1616) to the IM2021's Library Painter's toolbar.  :-)

That should expose the functionality you need in the IM IDE.  ;-)

HTH

Regards... Chris
