Lesson 4: Quiz 4
1. From where does BRW take the value of standard item
REPORT-DESCRIPT?
From the Report Description field on the Define Report
screen.
2. How could you specify that a negative value for an item be printed
in parentheses?
Specify ( in the negative Prefix field, and ) in the
negative Suffix field. Specify X in the Adjust fields for
both prefix and suffix.
3. "If you define TURNOVER-MTD on the Item Edits screen with Scaling
= 0, Decimals = 0, and Rounding = T, you will truncate item
TURNOVER-MTD so that it has no decimals." True or False?
True, but only for that printing at that position. The
actual value of the item is not affected by the edit mask.
4. Explain the difference between Item Edits and NumPrec.
Item Edits affects how the item will look when printed.
NumPrec affects the actual item (for example, when used in
calculations).
5. How could you print the item ORDER-NO with a space between each
letter? (That is, "ORD-011" is printed "O R D - 0 1 1").
Specify an edit mask for ORDER-NO of: X X X X X X X X
6. Could you also print item ORDER-NO without the above edit mask
(that is, without spaces between each letter): (a) In the same
report? (b) In the same lineset? (c) On the same line?
a. Yes
b. Yes
c. Yes. A certain edit mask affects only how an item will be
printed at a certain position in a certain line. You can
position an item many times, and each position can have a
different edit mask.
