FIRST:  simply select the columns you want  to PRINT by using the PR buttons 
in the order you want  them printed.  The numbers next to the PR buttons will 
show you which  order you selected them in.  You can click on the PR button 
again to  turn it off.  You can also edit the order numbers directly  -- 
you can  change number 2 to number 3, for example, and the other columns will  
renumber themselves as best they can around your change. 

SECOND: If you want to see only certain records, you can filter the data for 
the records you want by using the Operators (in the panel to the left) to 
impose conditions on  selected fields of the data.  

NEXAMPLE:  you want only records where the  field called 'serial' is less than 
9000.  You click on the field 'serial' in the list of fields, then use
the Operators panel to select '<' (less  than), then enter the value
9000 in the blank below, then choose 'OK'.  You  will see the correct
filter expression appear in the large blank next to the field name.
If you want to impose more conditions, you can make  filter
expressions for other fields as well.  You can also enter these
expressions directly into the text boxes yourself.

THIRD: You can SORT your output by  using the A(scending) and D(escending) 
sort buttons to the  right of the Requirements text.  These work just like 
the PR buttons  except that they have three possible states: A, D, or Nothing.  
(Ascending  sort means that the values go from smaller to larger, and 
Descending is the reverse order.  The precedence of sort is controlled by 
the order in which you click on  these buttons.  EXAMPLE:  to sort by vendor, 
and by PO number within vendor, you would click on A first for the vendor 
field, and then on A  for the PO number field.  

FOURTH: When you are done, you can use the Transfer button to transfer your 
SQL statement to the main wisql window for processing.  Once the SQL is
transferred you can use Execute in the main window to run it.   If
you like your query,  you can use the Query-Save mechanism in wisql to 
save it,  or the Results-Save mechanism to save your output, or both.  
You cannot, however, feed an existing query back into EZrpt.  Sorry.

OPTION:  you can use the FORM button, after you have determined which fields, 
which records, and which sort to use.  This will print out the  desired data in
'form-form' to a file.  Each record will consist of a  series of labels 
(columns names) and values (or blanks) for the data.  This enables you to 
make a 'fill in the blanks' paper form for updating or correcting your data.

Control-Mouse-1 on any area of the EZrpt window you want to know about.
