Reports to Print

Use these guidelines when developing reports that generate output to print.

Ensure that:

  • The page header is located at the top.

  • Demo versions of a report should not be set to print a cover page.

  • For an error report that prints only errors, when no errors exist, the report header prints, followed by a confirmation line that states No Errors.

  • For reports that do not generate any output, notes, or error messages, a message that indicates whether the batch job completed successfully is sent to the originator.

    Use the send message system function to send this message. You can use a template message to provide as much information as possible about why the job was unsuccessful, as well as to indicate the job to which the message pertains.
