Upgrading reports from prior versions

The gsreport command line utility updates report design documents (.4rp) from previous versions to the current version.

Syntax

gsreport [OPTIONS] filename [filename [...]]

Table 1. gsreport options
Option	Description
`-h`	Show help.
`-V`	Display program name and version.
`-c`	Convert old format 4rp files to new format
`-encoding ENCODING`	Sets the encoding to `ENCODING`. Note: When you use the `-h` option to display command help, the default encoding for your current environment displays.
`-translate LOCALE`	Sets the translation file to `LOCALE`.

Usage

This command line utility accepts a list of files, separated by a space. To include all report files in a directory, use the wildcard symbol (*).

Invoked without any options, the program performs a dry run that reports issues but does not modify the files.

Use option “-c” to convert files to the current version.

Warning: The tool does not back up the files.

If the data schema file (.rdd or .xsd) associated with the report design document is not encoded in system encoding, the -encoding option should be used to specify the encoding.

If error messages and warnings need to be displayed in a language different from the system language, the “-translate” option can be use to specify an alternate language.
