Our next generation Reporting tool, Clarion ReportWriter was designed to help you create easy-to-understand and visually beautiful reports in the shortest possible time. Use a Wizard-driven user interface to select your fields and tables and use a WYSIWYG editor to design your report. ReportWriter creates an optimized report using the same database driver technology as the Clarion development system, and it connects to almost any data source.

The Clarion ReportWriter includes a powerful report creation wizard simplifing the process of creating and customizing new reports. The report wizard allows you to specify the data source from either your Clarion Data Dictionary, or any standard data source.
