To change the report options, type over the existing information.
For an explanation of the report options, refer to the section Using the Report Options Screen.
After making changes to the Report Options screen, use either of the following procedures:
To save the changes temporarily while you make changes to other components of the report, press PF6 or enter ACCPT on the command line.
Or:
If no other changes to the report definition are required, press
PF5 or enter SAVE
on the command line.
You are returned to the Edit Report screen.
To start an edited report
When you have finished editing the report, start the report by pressing PF6 or entering START on the command line from either the Edit Report screen or the Report Processing Rules screen.
If you make changes to a report that has already been started, you will be prompted to "refresh" the report when you attempt to issue the START command or press PF6. This is because the name of a report that is accumulating data is the same as the report you are attempting to start. Reports with duplicate names are not permitted by Adabas Review. Refreshing the report will purge any accumulated data and will restart the report.
To "refresh" the report, answer "Y" to the prompt.
