HP ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual

Compile Report Screen 

Use this screen to compile a report.


            

HP ALLBASE/BRW checks that specifications have been correctly entered and
displays them on this screen.  After the compilation, HP ALLBASE/BRW
displays the compilation listing on this screen.

To compile a report 

   1.  Make sure that you have saved the latest specifications for the
       report you want to compile.

   2.  Choose Compile Report from the Select Report screen to get to the
       Compile Report screen.  The name of the report specification file
       for the report you selected appears in the Report Specification
       File field.

   3.  Type the name of the selection set, the execution file, and
       passwords (if required) for the report.  Use the information in
       the Field Description section if you need more details about each
       field.

   4.  Press Enter.

After the report has compiled, the first page of the compile listing is
displayed on the screen.
[REV BEG]


NOTE  If you attempt to compile a report that is currently loaded, but
      has never been saved, HP ALLBASE/BRW automatically saves the report
      specification file before compiling the report.  However,
      the compile operates on the last saved copy of the report
      specification.  So, if you have a report loaded that has been
      previously saved and you select to compile the report without 
      saving it again (using Save Report), you will be compiling the
      previously saved version.  The compilation will not include
      current, unsaved changes.
