Right Clicking to Shortcut Menu
Many Opera reports may require you to enter certain values or parameters with which it then performs its ORStions. You can edit parameter labels and default values for reports to run the report for all records, or for select records using two different methods. Reports associated with a Report Form display no parameter information.
Select a report containing parameter labels and default values, select the parameter label and/or default value you want to edit, and
double- click on this field to display the Edit Parameters dialog, or
right-mouse click on this field to display a shortcut menu.
The shortcut menu that appears displays the available commands for the selected form.
Edit Parameters. Displays the Edit Parameters dialog. Here you can change the entry in the Default Value field by entering a different value, or clearing the field. Clearing the field lets you run the report for all matching records.
Default Value. To change the default value, clear the field by backspacing and entering a different value. The selection bar color changes to indicate a different value has been specified.
Parameter Name. Displays an information dialog box specifying the parameter name; for example, The parameter name is 'P_Trxdate.' Click the OK button to clear the dialog box. This information is useful if you will be customizing this report.
Parameter Data Type. Displays an information dialog box specifying the parameter data type; for example, The data type of the parameter 'p_trxdate' is 'VARCHAR2.' This information is useful if you will be customizing this report.
