Lesson 2:  Quiz 4 

   1.  If you specify the standard item DATE in a lineset, what is
       printed when the report is run?

              BRW prints the date when the report is run.  The date is
              the current HP3000 system date.  The appearance of the item
              depends upon its edit mask.

   2.  What screen is used to alter the appearance (edit mask) of an
       item?

              The Item Edits screen.  You can go to the Item Edits screen
              from the Define Lines screen.

   3.  What happens if you specify a > character in the Pos field for an
       item?

              The item is automatically positioned.  That is, it is
              placed two spaces after the last item or literal on the
              line.

   4.  If you specify TOTAL in the ColCalc field for an item in the
       Report Footing lineset, what is printed when the report is run?

              BRW takes the value from each occurrence of that item,
              totals these values, and prints the total.  The total of
              all the values of that item is printed.

   5.  What other calculations are possible using the ColCalc field?

              You can obtain the average (AVG), the minimum value (MIN),
              the maximum value (MAX), or the number of times the item
              occurred (COUNT).
