Modifying the Overall Report Structure

Individual report segments (formats) can be combined into an actual report using a device structure. This is only required if you have a combination of a PRTFIL with one or more embedded PRTOBJs. A device structure specifies which PRTOBJ functions are called in the print file of another PRTOBJ and at which points.

• Link one or more PRTOBJ functions before or after all report format types except the header, footer, and top-of-page formats.
• A call to each embedded PRTOBJ function is added to the action diagram of the function. This must be a PRTFIL or another PRTOBJ.
