Working with PSR files

A PSR file is a special file with the extension PSR created by Sybase WorkSpace. PSR stands for Powersoft report.

Windows and PSR files When Sybase WorkSpace is installed, the PSR file type is registered with Windows.

A PSR file contains a report definition (source and object) as well as the data contained in the report when the PSR file was created.

Figure 3-1: PSR file

The graphic shows a rectangle labeled PSR file. Pointing to it are blocks that represent the report definition and retrieved data that make up the PSR file.

About reports A report is the same as a nonupdatable DataWindow object.

You can use a PSR file to save a complete report (report design and data). This can be especially important if you need to keep a snapshot of data taken against a database that changes frequently.
