Execution Statistics 

BRW provides statistics on the amount of CPU and elapsed time the report
took to execute.  You can use these statistics to improve the performance
of a report.  The use of execution statistics to improve report
performance is fully described in the HP ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual,
and also in the third lesson of this tutorial.  The execution statistics
are printed in the $STDLIST file.
