API, enhanced user interface, enhanced HTML interface and web integration,
and compatibility with 4D 6.5/6.7, it's not your ordinary columnar
reporting tool.

an enhanced reporting interface which can create a wide variety of reports.
)From standard columnar style reports, to detailed invoices, to reports
which will be distributed within your companies intranet or to your
corporate web site.
SuperReport Pro, the most advanced reporting tool for 4th Dimension does
the Web! SuperReport Pro 2.5 provides the ability to leverage your existing
reports for distribution on the Web. Reports created for web distribution
can now be output to 4D BLOB variables; enabling you to procedurally access
and display reports directly in dynamic web pages built using 4th
Dimension. No longer are you required to output the HTML files to disk
before they can be integrated into web applications.

environment, using a full featured Report Editor which can be used by
application developers who need to design complex custom reports and end
users who need to create ad-hoc reports.
"Our clients use SuperReport Pro 2.5 to create their own Invoices,
Estimates, and Purchase Orders. Without SuperReport Pro 2.5, JobOrder, our
vertical market product, would not be able to satisfy the form-generating
requirements of our wide range of clients",
-- said Victor Siegle, President of Management Software
SuperReport Pro 2.5 Developer API

developers the ability to customize all aspects of the reporting interface.

In addition, SuperReport Pro 2.5 provides the ability to procedurally
create and manage report documents without using the SuperReport Pro
Editor. Using these new routines, developers can create sophisticated
reports interfaces to suit the most complex reporting requirements.
