FW: Item Listing in Quiz

[Guy Werry]

I'm forwarding Ken's response, as it looks like he only sent it to me.
This looks like it could work (I did NOT try it); furthermore, a person
should be able to take the output from QSHOW and manipulate it to come
up with something like this.

Couldn't you just put a skip 1 tab 1 before each field and replicate the
field name into a title?

set page length 0
report &
skip 1 tab 1 "Field1" Field1 &
skip 1 tab 1 "Field2" Field2 &
skip 1 tab 1 "Field3" Field3 

A little tedious, but should work.

REPORT ALL in Query sounds like the most logical thing.  Perhaps
something with Suprtool?
If you were to do it in Quiz you would have to force a line feed after
each field.  We use Unix and I'm sure that you could set the report line
up so that a line feed (carriage return) could be hard-coded after each
field, but you'd wind up with problems very quickly with the page width.

Thinking about this, it was almost certainly a different tool.  I did
something like this recently using SQL and Oracle and it was a
NIGHTMARE.

Fifty/Fifty of one of the two below:

She was probably using QUICK (ala QDESIGN) followed by a GO and not
Quiz. 

Otherwise she was probably in QUERY using a REPORT ALL after a FIND.  

(REPORT ALL in QUERY seems similar to Quiz doesn't' it?)
