i created a dhl_clearencee2.rml ......but in .py file we use class clearencee2(report_sxw.rml_parse): so if do not have sxw file what is the purpose of using report_sxw.rml_parse in a class???/??

Anil Kesariya

Not necessary for adding .SXW file you have the rml file already. .SXW file is used for generating rml file from your doc file. thats its not mandatory.

Hi R.sridevi,

You can create report without .sxw file. It is not mandatory that .sxw file should be there for a report. Usually we are using .sxw file is for simplicity to design the reports in open office rather than writing the entire code for the report.So that we can convert it to rml file.

Hello R. Sridevi

No. .sxw file is not necessary to generate a report. If you are good in creating rml file then you don't need to have sxw.

Actually sxw file is used to generate rml file. sxw is converted into rml.

Thanks,
