RepLang (for Reporting Language) is a scripting language used in the Advent Axys software for creating customised database reports.

[edit] Summary

Replang is the scripting language used for creating reports in Advent Axys ^[1], software used widely in the financial community for portfolio management, accounting, and performance reporting. The language very subtly resembles other scripting languages, such as Perl, JavaScript, VBScript, Python. However, much of its structure, variables, and functions are Axys specific, so knowledge of other programming languages is insufficient to write Axys reports. For basic reporting creation, Advent does provide Report Writer Pro, but often other modifications are needed to fulfill your reporting objective.

Replang reports are text files saved with a .rep extension. An attempt has been made to document the language at ^[2].
