Understanding Default Settings for Reports

A report is defined by the system as a universal batch engine (UBE) object type. You must provide a report with:

• Object name

  Begins with an R to indicate that it is a report template.

• Description

  Describes the type of report and the data that it contains.

• Product code

  Indicates the system that is associated with the interactive application that uses the data, the system where the associated data resides. For example, address book data resides in system 01.

After you create a report object, you can save it and add object specifications at a later time.

When you create a new report, or other batch application, the system automatically applies default standards for some report components.

This table lists the report components that have default standards:

Report Component	Default Standard

Report object name	Appears in the upper-left corner of the page header.
