#INCLUDE files write external source files into Production Reporting report specifications. Use #INCLUDE files to keep commonly-used routines in a single file and reference or "include" that file in programs that use the routine.
For example, if you have a set of #DEFINE commands for different printers to control initialization, font changes, and page size declarations, you could reference the appropriate #INCLUDE file depending on the printer used.
To add an #INCLUDE file to an SQR Production Reporting Studio report:
Select Report, then Includes from the menu at the top of the Layout window.
The Include Files dialog box is displayed.
The Include Files dialog box displays all the #INCLUDE files in the report. The order in which the #INCLUDE files appear is the order in which Production Reporting executes the files. To change the order, select an #INCLUDE file and click Move Up or Move Down.
Click Add to add an #INCLUDE file.
You can also click Edit to edit an #INCLUDE file, or Remove to remove an #INCLUDE file.
The Include File dialog box is displayed.
In the Path field, enter the path to the #INCLUDE file and the name of the #INCLUDE file.
In the Placement listbox, select an option to define where to place the #INCLUDE file in your Production Reporting program.
