[comp.lang.icon] Icon...RDBMS report...

We have a modification request (bug report) tracking system that's based on
a relational database and most of our canned reports and even the graphs we
use to track things like the "fix" rate are programmed in Icon.  The Icon
programs spit out ascii reports and generate pic code for graphs.  I toyed
with making them generate PostScript but we already had a working pic
format for the graphs so I just used Icon to automate the data collection
and formatting.  It's customized to our specific project and wouldn't be
portable to other applications but does provide an example of the use you
were interested in.
