                 uses provides an extremely interesting teaching
                 instrument with an as yet unrealized potential For many
                 years report generating systems such as REPORTER have
                 been extensively used as work horses in business and
                 industry. Administrators in these areas require
                 up-to-date information presented in an understandable,
                 well-organized form. The business executive may need a
                 daily, weekly, or monthly report of the sales records
                 of the company's employees, listing for each sales
                 representative the number of items sold in each
                 category, the amount of income produced, the number of
                 items returned in each category, etc. The Burroughs
                 REPORT writER is based upon an entirely different
                 premise which not only permits but encourages user
                 involvement and understanding. The programs which
                 create each REPORT are accessible, small, modular in
                 structure, and limited to the specific options
                 requested by the user. While it can be easily used in a
                 non-technical manner, and need not be explored in any
                 depth, there are no formidable barriers to a more
                 intelligent mastery of this tool. The unique
                 characteristic of the Burroughs REPORTER is its
                 production of an independent COBOL program for each set
                 of specifications entered. It",
