The layout of reports varies with the information that has to be displayed.
This document covers the following topics:
Header information is separated from the rest of the retrieval report by a horizontal line.
13:57:22 ***** P R E D I C T ***** 2007-05-31 - List Program - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
The time on the left indicates the time at which the objects currently displayed were included in the report. This time changes accordingly when you page backwards and forwards.
The current function is displayed.
Retrieval output is now line-oriented and not page-oriented as in earlier versions of Predict. When a retrieval report is printed, however, the page number appears in the top right hand corner. The page length is taken from the parameter Page size, which is only relevant for printed output.
For display-oriented functions and for functions with parents or with children, each new main object starts on a new screen page. Object ID and subtype (if applicable) are displayed on the left. Date and time the object was added or last modified appear on the right.

If the parameter Cover page of the output options is set to Y, a cover page will introduce reports.

The cover page contains a listing of the selection criteria, the output options and the retrieval model (if any) used for the creation of the report.
A cover page is especially useful when keeping a printed report for later use.

The structure of the body of the report depends on the following factors:
Output mode See the description of the various output modes in this section for output examples.
Object type Sample output for each object type with output mode List is given in the respective section of the Predefined Object Types in Predict documentation.
For some retrieval functions, the column Cnt contains the sequential number of the main object in the retrieval list.
Note:
This column displays a maximum of four digits, so if the list
contains more than 9999 objects, the numbering restarts at 0.
PF3 Terminate the function
PF5 Repeat last search command
PF6 Flip PF key display (Switch from keys 1-12 to keys 13-24)
PF7 Scroll backwards by value in field Scroll ==>
PF8 Scroll forwards by value in field Scroll ==>
PF10 Scroll to the left
PF11 Scroll to the right
PF17 Find string under cursor
PF18 Flip PF key display (Switch from keys 13-24 to keys 1-12)
PF19 Scroll to top of report
PF20 Scroll to bottom of report
Note:
These PF key assignments cannot be modified.
When the report exceeds a screen page, Line nn of ... appears in the Natural message line. These dots are replaced with the total number of lines in the report when the end of the report is reached.
Line n on screen refers to the first line of "real" data in the current screen. In the example below, the first six lines contain header information.

The end of reports is marked with *** End of report ***.
