Exercise 4:Adding a Password and a Report Description 

Add a password and description 

   1.  Type the password PASS1 in the Report Specification Password
       field.

   2.  Press Tab to get to the Report Description field.

   3.  Type the optional description Customer Details Report:  Tutorial
       Lesson 2 in the Report Description field.

       This report description is a useful place to enter a short comment
       about the purpose of the report.  If you return to the report
       specification later, you can see the purpose of the report at a
       glance, without having to look more deeply into the specification.

   4.  This report uses the standard paper type, length, width, number of
       horizontal pages, and the standard character set for string
       sorting.  Therefore, accept the defaults that appear and do not
       change the fields for these settings.

   5.  Notice the SQL Transaction Isolation Level field.  You can ignore
       this field for the tutorial.  It is used for SQL data.  Using SQL
       data is described fully in the HP ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual.

   6.  Look at the USE Access of Report field.  You can ignore this field
       for now.  This field is used to copy access information from
       another report.

   7.  Look at the Final Access Table field on the Define Report screen.
       It is currently blank.  When you are finished defining the tables
       for the report (in the next exercise), BRW provides the name of
       your final table here.  Although you can define many tables (known
       as intermediate tables) for the report, only the final table is
       listed here.  The final access table incorporates all the
       intermediate tables.

   8.  Press Enter.

       BRW displays the message "Report modified" to tell you that the
       changes were made.
