Program Description

When you print out reports, a selection window is displayed in which you can restrict the printout to particular data records by making selections.

You can avoid this procedure by making selections beforehand. This takes place by defining the parameters (= selection criteria). and is deployed with the key codes AUTOREP and CHAINREP. The update program for terminal reports can be entered via Parameters -> Misc. Params.

For every report you start, you can enter particular selection criteria. By default, these values are preset and can be changed to a particular value.

Example: Booking Statistics

Selection window at the start of the report from the menu bar at the office terminal

Selection option in the sub-window Parameters.

When you press "RETURN", you move the cursor to the next input line where you can make another selection. All entries in the sub-window are saved in the main window.

Event Number

Every selection is stored with a unique number. The number is given automatically by – as already described – clicking on the arrow button and making a selection.
