HP ALLBASE/BRW Tutorial

Exercise 9:Requesting The Report 

When you request the report, BRW streams a job that runs the execution
file to produce the report.

Request the report 

   1.  Type the name of the execution file, CUSTREP2.BRWEXEC, in the
       Report field.

   2.  Choose  Request Report.


            

   3.  Choose  Start Report.

       BRW prompts for the User, Group, and Account for the job.  The
       default User, Group, and Account are the logon ones.

   4.  You want to keep the default, so choose  Start Report again.


            

       BRW now prompts for the User, Account, and Group passwords for the
       job.  There were no passwords set up for the tutorial account when
       it was shipped from Hewlett-Packard.

   5.  If you have set passwords, first type them in the appropriate
       fields.  If you have not set passwords, go on to the next step.

   6.  Choose  Start Report again.


            

       BRW displays the message Job streamed, Job number is #Jnnn.

See how the job is progressing 

   1.  Choose  Exit to return to the Select Report screen.

   2.  Choose  other keys.

   3.  Choose  Show Jobs.

       BRW displays a screen similar to the next screen shown here.


            

Your job status will be displayed.  If the job does not appear, it may
already have finished.  In that case, go to the printer to collect the
report or look at the $STDLIST file.
