This chapter contains the topic:
After you create a version, you add one or more reports that run in the version. You can add JD Edwards World reports, such as DREAM Writer, World Writer, and FASTR, and other spool file reports.
An EBB version that contains a single report is a burst only version. An EBB version that contains multiple reports must be burst and then bound. You can also use EBB Reports Selection for DREAM Writer reports or the Data Description Specifications (DDS) to set the burst criteria. See Chapter 14, "Set Up Burst Areas Using Data Description Specification (DDS)" for more information about using DDS.
On EBB Reports Selection, choose Display Spool file for selection (F8).
On Spool File Selection, enter the output queue name in which the reports reside, in the OUTQ field.
Note:
Place the widest report first in the sequence of reports. EBB truncates data based on the width of the initial report in the version.Perform one of the following:
To control the sequence in which the reports process, enter 1 in the Option field and then click Enter each time you select a report.

Exit (F3) to the EBB Reports Selection screen.
The reports you select display.
Reports | Description |
---|---|
% Menus | % menus produce reports with identical spool file names. Because EBB requires that spool file names be unique, you must use printer overrides on the individual reports to specify a unique spool file name. |
Report Limitations | You can include up to 999 reports in an EBB version.
The report screen can be up to 100 lines long and 198 characters wide. Each report within a version must have a unique name to ensure that EBB processes the reports correctly. |
Reports you select for burst areas | EBB reports only display the first page when you identify the burst area. Avoid selecting a report that includes a banner page or contains print instructions on the first page. |
