----------  Run Report  ----------

An M-Writer report from a prepared script may be run from the Empress Query
Language  by the "run report" command.  The report may either select data from
a table according to select statements within the script, or operate on a file
of data produced by a "select ... report dump" command.

Syntax:

     [ | run   | ] report [from] SCRIPT [ [on] DATA_FILE ] [ | into | FILE ]
       | start |                                             | onto |
          [ | set PARAMETER {, PARAMETER} | ];
            | ( PARAMETER {, PARAMETER} ) |

The keywords "run" and "start" are synonyms.  DATA_FILE must be in  dump  for-
mat.  The output of a "run report" command may be redirected from the terminal
into a new file or appended to  an  existing  file  by  specifying  "into"  or
"onto", respectively, and a filename.  PARAMETERS are M-Writer parameters.
