 What is RPV? What I can create with these tools?
The tools of impression RPV Reports conform a new methodology to generate to generate information and works of impression with graphical characteristics Windows, of a very simple form, from any programming language and any operating system.
The today programmer is itself faced the necessity to develop applications in several platforms, and tools RPV adapt to the different programming languages obtaining exactly the same results from languages like COBOL or Visual BASIC, or to inclusively AWK of Unix/Linux.
Concepts RPV
We begin saying that tools RPV work of a way ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT from which you. it can know with respect to applications to develop to reports or listings. Nevertheless and in spite of the difference that exists between reporteadores RPV and other tools, we can assure that you are the concept SIMPLER than. it will find. Tools RPV Reports are able applications of " comprender" common files (archives) of text, which you. it can generate using his habitual programming language, and give format to the data of the way that you.
it wishes taking advantage of all the graphical advantages Windows. These files that you. (or its program) they will generate, will contain only the data that You wish to represent from within not being necessary the format of your program. Once you. or their program has finished creating the file, simply it will be invoked to reporteador RPV so that presents/displays it by screen he prints or it according to corresponds.
Due to the simple thing of this concept, reporteadores RPV Reports are tools with extraordinary portability and adaptable to any programming language, are these under surroundings Windows, Two or Unix, since in any language and/or operating system you. it counts on the possibility of writing flat files.
Besides it, an extraordinary advantage that presents/displays reporteador RPV and its concept is that it is not required to know an additional programming language for the extraction the data at the time of generating his listings beyond his few commandos of I format. If you. it uses Line of vision BASIC to program, the data will be gone away in Visual BASIC, as well as if Cobol uses, the same will be managed by Cobol. In synthesis the language that You use, whichever it is he will be the one in charge to manage his data and it will not be necessary that it learns to " to think lógica" in another programming language.
RPV Viewer
 RPV Reports counts on a very intuitive interface Windows which will not take any disadvantage to its end users, independently who the same can not have experience in front of the computers since it only has the necessary bellboys which it transforms to the visualizer into an excellent tool to show its previous reports its impression. Its use will allow him to sail the report, abrir, to save, to export the same, etc.
Print Server
 RPV Reports has an impression servant which quiet sends its reports to the printer without abrir no window. This characteristic allows the developer to generate great amounts of listings and to send them to the printer without previsualization.
Adding Tools
In case it is not necessary to maintain the servant of impression loaded in his system of permanent way, the possibility exists of using the RpvPrint.exe tool, which sends the listing to the printer without needing maintaining loaded in memory no application or following the version, the RpvPrintDir.exe tool which will send to print, in a single step, the complete content of a directory or folder.
Additionally, RPV Reports offers other alternatives from their control activex RpvCorporate.ocx either to send to print a listing, abrir the visualizer, to pack a report or to execute tasks of just and party of lines. For those languages where the use of the objects activex is not possible, RPV Reports includes the possibility of using their external tools such as: Justify.exe, Wordwrap.exe, RpvPack.exe, etc
Templates
The capacity to use groups is extremely attractive since it allows the developer to only send the data of the information towards delimited files so that RPV soon gives a suitable format them (archives RPD and archives RPX).
The use of groups in RPV will add stability to its systems because the majority of the times will not be necessary to modify the source code of the programs to alter the listings but when modifying the groups the information will be corrected with the security of which the data contributed by their program continue being reliable.
Capacity to read text files
This capacity has been especially including contemplating the urgent projects where there is no time that to lose. RPV Reports can directly read the information that its system generates and that are sent to the printer. It will be enough with redirecting the exit of the listings towards a file and will be recognized by RPV Reports for his management.
To this important capacity the ability of RPV Reports is added to him to work with " tables of conversión". Using these tables " will be possible; explicarle" to RPV each commando sent to the printer.
For example, in case a printer accepts a commando to establish the letter in bold, once declared in the table of conversion RPV, our tool he will be able to interpret this commando since he corresponds making as of that moment his program, that was compatible with a single model of printer, compatible with any printer accepted by Windows. The conversion tables are the indicated ones to avoid the annoying problems with the special characters such as the n and/or the accents of the Spanish or Portuguese
To show/To print bar codes and images
 RPV Reports can print/to show bar codes of different types following the version and without needing installation from additional sources giving to their programs more functionalities.
These codes can be formed to be printed in laser printers, red injection or including on dot matrix printers. Also it allows to use all type of bar codes that can be obtained from the corresponding sources. It inserts images within his reports such as photographies, logos, etc, to increase the quality of his reports
Print queue FTP
RPV Reports counts on the unique characteristic to handle a print queue in a servant FTP who will allow him to print his listings from a console in Unix to a printing Windows.
Using this capacity, it is possible to previsualize and/or to print all information from Unix (Linux, SCO, Solaris, HP-UX, Qnx, etc) to any printer of Windows being used RPV Reports
