I'm not sure I understand what is 3GL or 4GL, but R is on the list of "fourth-generation languages : Data manipulation, analysis, and reporting languages"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth-generation_programming_language#Some_fourth-generation_languages> on wikipedia.
I don't know a function like that (nervertheless, I know nothing about proc report, and I don't understand how it works). But if you don't want a "Sweave-like" process, hwriter can automatically generate (html) reports: # from http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~gpau/hwriter/ library(hwriter) hwrite(iris[1:2,1:2], 'test.html', row.bgcolor='#ffdc98') browseURL(paste("file://", getwd(), "/test.html", sep = "")) In all case, to generate the report, you must first create the results, and then display it into a report. Or perhaps you're looking for something like rreport package (in development): http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/Rreport (never tried) david 2010/8/19 Donald Paul Winston <satchwins...@yahoo.com> > > Oops, I meant 4GL.
