End user needs info

rbuser

Hello,
I am a true end user of Report Writer. The version that shows up on the
splash screen is 2.0. (This may be our software providers versioning) The
software runs a Sybase Database ver 5.x.x.x
I am looking for a reference of all available functions that I can use in
writing queries. I am not a SQL guru in any way.
I want to know how to evaluate IF functions and similar things for
calculated fields. I also am looking for ways to evaluate expressions in a
query.
For example, I want to return all records in a table where the order is
earlier than TODAY minus 20 days. (I do not want the user to have to type in
the date in the Auto-Search window every time).

Again, I am looking for a reference that shows all the keywords, functions
methods etc etc that can be used when writing/designing a query.

Thanks,
Jason Eberhart

Article: Learning ReportBuilder
--------------------------------

Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
upon installation.
