Abstract
A suite of programs has been written for ICL System 4 computers to enable tabular reports from the annual road accident statistics files to be extracted with a minimum of effort. Requests for analysis are written in the form of simple language statements and punched onto cards. The system is designed for use by people with little computer experience and the time between inception and satisfaction of requests for information has been greatly improved. The project has been extended to provide a general purpose report form analysis method using the language elements and techniques from RATTLE.
