Title

This screen field gives your report a unique descriptive title which will
appear on the report.

Directory

This will default to the DDMC32 default that was set up when you
installed your system. If you want the report to be saved into a different
directory type the complete directory name in this field.

File Name

Type in the file name, normally this would be the similar to your title with
the .rpt extension added (for example, you have titled your report Test,
your file name would then be Test.rpt).

Print

The Print field defaults to No. This means that that the report will not be
automatically printed to the default printer whenever the report is
generated. To have the report printed every time it is run, click on the Yes
radio button.

This selection is useful for printing scheduled reports at the time the report
is generated.

date to the report name. This report is always saved to disk, named
according to the following format: Report Name, Database Name, Day of
Year, Hour of Day, and Minute.

Processor

Select the processor name to limit the report to only the selected processor,
or leave the default of All, which will include all processors in your report.

the report messages for both .SDS and .DFA messages. To display only
the .sds or .dfa messages, click on the arrow and select from the drop down
list.

Width

This is the number of characters per report line. The Width defaults to 80
characters.
