Objectives
When you have completed this lesson, you will have learned how to create
a report that uses data from both the product file and the option file.
In developing this report, you will learn how to use the following
reporting features.
* A start of report function.
* Sort field definitions and control breaks.
* Automatic totalling.
* Record selection criteria (HP TurboIMAGE/iX and KSAM only).
* File linkages and a post link read function (HP TurboIMAGE/iX and
KSAM only).
* A before print function associated with a report line group.
HP ALLBASE/SQL developers will also create a select list.
You will also use a calculated item in this report. A calculated item is
a special type of variable that is evaluated by executing a function
every time the item is referenced.
These facilities allow you to develop reports that are considerably more
flexible and powerful than the simple report in the earlier part of this
training course.
