2.99 VIEW REPORT

Use VIEW REPORT to view the process report or the discard file that is generated by Extract or Replicat. Each process generates a new report and discard file upon startup.

Reports and discard files are aged whenever a process starts. Old files are appended with a sequence number, for example finance0.rpt, finance1.rpt, and so forth, or discard0.dsc, discard1.dsc, and so forth.
