Test Running a Rev Report (Reporter Specific)

Can anyone assist with a procedure / selection criteria to allow for Rev Reporter to test run a report ? We need to be able to stop the report after a small number of records.
We have a number of clients with very large databases who are used to the 'LIST nn TABLE_NAME {FIELDNAME}' in AREV, and who are not happy with the lack of this function in Rev Reporter.
Ie. each time they modify the report they have to run it over the entire DB which can take some time (] 60 minutes).

You could sent the reporter an active list of only a few records. Are you generating the list inside the report? It might support the select xxx syntax internally, but passing in a truncated list would be the best.

Aaron, thanks for the reply.
Most of our clients use the reporter in a very basic way. Unless the solution is as simple as a selection criteria within the report, (or better still, they have asked for a Test Run button on the toolbar….!) it will be too hard for them.
