Difference between creating a report using Printer file and WRKQRY(Query Report) ?..

Answer / sujatha

WRKQRY

advantage: can send output to database file without hassle
thereby enabling more research on the output.

disadvantage:
reports are not as user-friendly as column names and
subtotal lables are fixed.
calculations are not very extensive. (IF ELSE calculations
cannot be implemented)
no documentation is possible, making it difficult to reuse.
