Report Output - Print and Display

You can, almost instantly, print or display a pre-defined report.

Tip: Running reports during working hours uses valuable processing and printer time. Where possible, plan reports in advance and run them as part of a batch in Timed operations.

Printing and Displaying a Report

1. After selecting Run report generator and selecting a report click OK to proceed.

The execute form is displayed.

Note: If there are prompts present in the report definition edit the prompt fields as required.

2. The OK, Cancel, and Help buttons are available. With the exception of Display reports, the Batch button is also available. Click OK.

   The report results are output to the currently selected print device and the report results (the number of records read, the number of records printed and the number of records suppressed) are displayed.

3. Click Close to return to the currently selected report or Cancel to return to the previous menu without executing the report.

Note: By clicking Batch the report is not processed immediately, but placed into a batch. See Batch Control for more information regarding this option.
