One way to create new reports is to use the Copy Report Definition (CR) command from the List Report Definitions (LR) function. The CR command is issued from the Report Definitions screen. The command allows you to copy a report definition either to another Adabas Review repository, or to the current Adabas Review repository under a new name.
After the report definition is copied, the Display Program Name on the screen will display the message "Need RG". This indicates that the display program must be generated before the new report may be displayed.
To generate a display program
Enter RG on the selection line preceding the new report name; or
Or:
Edit the report using the Edit Report
(ER) function; then save it.
Adabas Review automatically generates a new display program reflecting the changes. See the section Regenerating a Display Program (RG) for other reasons to use the RG command.
