START
Marks the start of a report definition.
Syntax
ST[ART] [.]
Description
The report definition must immediately follow this command and it, in
turn, must be immediately followed by a SAVE command. A report
definition consists of an optional CONFIGURE and/or FORMAT command
followed by a required REPORT command.
No commands, other than the CONFIGURE, FORMAT, and REPORT commands are
logged after the START command until you issue the SAVE command. Once
you issue the SAVE command, all commands are executed and logged.
A [[Control]] Y entered while a START is active terminates the START
command, thereby eliminating the need for a SAVE command. When this
occurs, you are returned to command processing mode. In addition, as is
normal in the processing of [[Control]] Y, all levels of redirected input
are exited and input is reset to $STDINX.
Open Mode: Shared-update or exclusive-update
Scope: DA scope or any scope with create capability
Example
The following example saves the report element-report that produces a
report on entities of type element. In addition, the report on each
element begins on a new page.
>START
>CONFIGURE PAGE.
>REPORT ENTITY;
>> ENTITY-TYPE = element.
>SAVE element-report;
>> DESCRIPTION = "Detailed report to list occurrences of
>> entity-type ELEMENT in sorted order.".
