A report can be defined using inches, centimeters, or points. The unit of measurement is independent of the device on which you build the report. As a result, you can design reports that will run on any platform on which Reports Builder runs. You can change a reports unit of measurement in these ways:
Setting the Unit of Measurement property.
Converting the report using rwconverter, specifying a different unit of measurement with the DUNIT keyword.
Opening the report in a different environment. For example, if you open a character-mode report, Reports Builder will change the reports unit of measurement to the bit-mapped environments default. If you then save the report, it will be saved with the new unit of measurement.
