The report writer in ARev 3.12 seems to have the following structure:
Field 1-19 (Fixed Positions) with
Date
Time
User
Datafile.
Each Band is declared (Variable Field Positions)as follows
Display lines of the band
Suppress band display
Number of objects to display in the band
Finally each object within the band (Text, Field, or Calculated object) is defined as
Object type (T,F,C)
Column number
Row number within the band (starting with 0)
Display length
Display depth
… etc.
This is found out easily filling in values in the report writer and editing the record at REPORTS REPORT*NAME_OF_THE_REPORT
Making tests this way I have not been able to find out the following:
a) Fields 1-6, 10-16 and 18-19, what do they contain?
b) For each object, what does subvalue 10 and 18 mean?
c) Is there any additional documentation on the record structure?
This could be a great oportunity to use the Banded Report Writer for creating reports which run on screen/printer/file and then write an output routine to generate directly HTML code from within ARev.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

according to the display lines and the amount of objects

Might be easier to just whack the SYSTEXT record some.
