Title: REPORT???

I just stumbled across a protected assigned variable that I never knew existed: REPORT. Does anybody have any idea what this little usubr does?

Hmm, I should know this but can't remember .. nor where I once saw it (maybe Tanzillo's site or Reini's?).
Anyhow, it's obsolete and doesn't work anymore.

Good to know. Wait, defunct in 2004+ or since when.

Early R14, it seems (http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/autocad/docs/lisp-history14.html)

Wow. I wonder what it was supposed to do or if there is a function that replaced it?

Thanks for doing the grunt work, Stig.

I contacted Autodesk back when R12 was new. I was informed that REPORT was defunct, even in 1993, evidently, it has been defunct for a loooong time...The technition I spoke to could not even tell me what it was suppoed to do.

Eh, well that sucks. You think they unprotect it if it never worked and appears that it won't.
