Objectives
When you have completed this lesson you will have learned how to:
* Define a report header
* Define report line headers
* Paint a report image
To define a report, you must first define the report header. Then you
define the remaining details of the report in any sequence. The screens
you learn to use are:
* The report header screen. Allows you to define the operational
environment of the report.
* The report line header screen. Allows you to define the
characteristics of the lines that make up the report.
* The report painter. Allows you to paint an image of the various
report lines you have defined.
* The report sorting screen. Allows you to define the order in
which the records from the file are to be printed.
* The selection criteria screen. Allows you to define a number of
selection criteria which must be met for a record to be included
in the report.
* The file linkages screen. Allows you to specify when, and from
which files, extra information is extracted while the report is
being produced.
In the lessons in this chapter you will use the first three of these
items. The others are optional. To keep this report simple, the
optional items are not used.
