       you need:

              Dictionary, or HP Access Server Dictionary (formerly the HP
              Access Central Dictionary).

          *   or, you can generate a dictionary source file from which to
              create the BRWDIC file.  (See Chapter 18 ).

   *   For SQL reports, you need the HP ALLBASE/SQL production database
       (or a test database with the same table structures, owner names,
       and access rights).

To use the run-time only version 

   *   Have the MPE operating system correctly installed and operating,
       including the BRWEXEC and BRWSTART programs.

   *   Have the report execution file created by the developer version of
       HP ALLBASE/BRW.

   *   Have the database from which the information will be extracted.

   *   Have any intermediate report files required by the report.


NOTE  The version of the operating system on which the report is run must
      always be the same as, or later than, the version of the operating
      system on which the report was defined.
