Printing Crystal Code

[Andre01]

I write a lot of similar reports in Crystal and want to know if there is any way to print out all the code - the formulas, selections, sorting, print, etc to a printer ?

At least in versions 8.5 and 10
In Crystal Reports ide and with the desired report open, You can select Export and choose REPORT DEFINITION

It will generate a txt file as in :
