Understanding Generated and Saved Records

You can generate results to view now or to view later. When you click the View Now button on the Work with Project Status Inquiry form, the system validates the data selection, calculates values, and displays the results in the Project Status Inquiry form of the Project Status Inquiry program (P51X0210). When you exit the Project Status Inquiry form, the system does not save the results. You can, however, select to save the results that you viewed, and can generate records that the system saves for later viewing instead of immediately displaying them in the Project Status Inquiry form.

You can use the following methods to save results to view later:

  • Complete the data selection on the Work with Project Status Inquiry form, click the View Now button to display the records in the Project Status Inquiry form, and then use the Save Results option on the Form menu to save the results that you viewed.

    The system includes the Save Results option on the Form menu only when view later processing is enabled.

  • Specify job selection data in the Work with Project Status Inquiry form and then click the View Later button.

    The system includes the View Later button on the Work with Project Status Inquiry form only when view later processing is enabled.

  • Run the Submit Project Status Inquiry View program (R51X0300).

    When you run the Submit Project Status Inquiry View program, the system uses processing options and Data Selection to identify records to process instead of using the data that you specify on the Work with Project Status Inquiry form.

    See Generating Job and Billing Data to View Later (Release 9.2 Update).

For all saved results, the system saves the results to the F51X10 table and creates a record in the Project Status Inquiry Results Header table (F51X30). You use the Work with Project Status Inquiry View program (P51X0310) to locate the saved records and open the saved results in the Project Status Inquiry form.
