REPORT
Reports a sorted listing of data elements.
Syntax
[option] REPORT subcommand
R
Use the REPORT command to display an alphabetized list of data elements
owned by an entity or by that entity's children. Note that any element
that is owned by more than one entity is listed only once by the REPORT
command.
The subcommand identifies the entity to be listed. For example, REPORT
CLASS lists the elements owned by the named user security class. REPORT
ELEMENT lists all the elements defined in the Dictionary. Also, if the
subcommand used is CATEGORY, FILE, GROUPS, or PROCEDURE and the entity
name entered is for a child entity, the elements owned by that entity are
reported. If the name entered in response to one of these subcommands is
for a parent entity, all the elements for the related child entities are
reported. If the name entered in response to the PROCEDURE subcommand
prompt is for a parent procedure any elements associated with that
procedure or any of its related child procedures will also be reported.
The PRINT option can be used with the command string to direct the report
to the line printer. The report would then include descriptive
information in addition to the information normally displayed on the
terminal. The description information is the description that was
entered when the entity was created or when an association was made.
Subcommands
Any of the following subcommands can be used with the REPORT command:
CATEGORY reports all the data elements associated with a
category or with related child categories
CLASS reports all the data elements associated with a
security class
ELEMENT reports all the data elements defined in the
Dictionary
FILE reports all the data elements associated with a
file or with related child files
GROUP reports all the data elements associated with
an HP Inform group or with related child groups
PROCEDURE reports all the data elements associated with a
procedure or with related child procedures,
including any owned by the named procedure
