Fields (Page 1)

Field	Description
Form, Extension Report	Each list is defined by form (max. 8 characters). Optionally, it can also have an extension (max. 16 characters) and a report name (max. 16 characters).
Owner	The owner is used in security and archiving. Security: The owner is passed to the security exit and can be used for defining security profiles (optional; max. 8 characters). Archiving: In order for a list to be assigned to an archive pool, the owner of the list must be identical to the owner of the pool definition.
SecLevel	The security level is passed to the security exit and can therefore be used for defining security profiles (optional; max. 8 characters).
Title	Descriptive title which can be used to describe and identify lists (optional; max. 60 characters; may include blanks)
Line, Column, Format, Number of Lines	By default, the generation record of each list includes the date and time when the list was read in by Adabas Audit Data Retrieval. Specify the variable &ADADATE in the Format field if the date/time of the list is to be set to the date/time of the first transaction contained in the list. The calculation of the online retention will then be based on the date extracted from the list. The other fields are typically not used by Adabas Audit Data Retrieval.
