Hi Rich,
AFAIK, it is just historical. GC shipped with a report called "P&L" but some
people said "That's an income Statement", so it was renamed. Then there were
howls of "Where's the P&L report gone" so the same report was put back in but
with 2 names..... yes, they should be identical output.
(Of course, it may be that the Income Statement was the original name, and P&L
was the rename. Truly can't remember, it was years ago)
HTH,
Maf.
