Abstract: A system and method for report generation involving creation of a report file defining a report structure. The report structure is based upon at least one report group comprised of one or more page definitions. The report file will typically contain information identifying one or more data sources associated with the at least one report group and field descriptive information relating to a plurality of fields included within the one or more page definitions. Once the report file has been created, data source information is retrieved from the one or more data sources in accordance with the field content information. The method further includes rendering an output report document based upon the report file and the data source information. The output report document includes one or more output report pages formatted consistently with each of the one or more page definitions.
