Labels:text | screenshot | number | font | parallel | line OCR: Field Name Type Size Description Type N Rpt_Type table. Identifies a report as a member of a specific report category identified in the Report A 8 The name of the PW report specification (e.g. myreport.rsl). RptName A 30 A longer, more descriptive name for the report used in the list box object of report names available within a certain type of report. RptQuery A 6 The base name of queries required to assemble the appropriate data for the report. It works with the entry in the Iterations field. Iterations S The number of queries with the base name entered in the RptQuery field. For example, if a salary report required three queries, the developer can write the queries and save them as Salary1.QBE, Salary2.QBE, and Salary3.QBE. The entries in this table would be Salary in the RptQuery field and 3 in the Iterations field, thus telling the report form that there are three queries to run when producing this report: Salary1, Salary2, and Salary3. By limiting the base query name to 6 characters, the report form will be able to run up to 99 queries for a single report. Criteria List A 8 Controls available criteria for the user to select to control the records included in Table the report. Normally, an application is developed with lookup tables for data entry control and report production. To have the report form read the contents of a lookup or control table into theCriteria list box on the form, just add the name of the table here. The control table may not always be present, report aiteria may be a summarized list of values that are present in a table but are not in a form that can easily be read into a list (e.g. only the manager's from the Employee file). If you need to run a query that will produce a summarized list of the aiteria desired, just enter Answer as the table name to use. This will tell the report form to run the query identified by the entry in the List Query field. Criteria Data Indicates the data type of the query criteria. The report form will create a private Type A 1 table that it will load with the selected citeria for each report. Each report run recreates this table so the data type of the criteria is sure to match the data type of the associated field(s) of the table(s) being queried for the report. Criteria Length N Describes the length of the query criteria data. Again, each time the report form creates the private table, the structure will vary depending on the entry in this field and in the Criteria Type fied. List Driver Field A 51 Tells the report form which field(s) to read when populating the Criteria list box. The field(s) are read from the table name in the Criteria List Table field. Up to two field names can be entered, but they must be separated by the pipe charader ( | ). List Query A 8 This runs a query producing a list of values to be presented to the user as selecion criteria for the report. Print Orientation A 10 Landscape or Portrait External Script A 8 If your report requires some special processing that cannot be provided through queries, etc ., the report form provides this field for the entry of a script that it will run in the hopes of producing a report.
