Objectives

You will be producing a report that lists all the horses recorded in your database. In addition, the report will give the total number of horses recorded and the total value of all the horses. The following steps are involved:

1. Create a Print Horses function based on the HORSE file. The function will require the creation of a RSQ (resequence) access path to retrieve records in Horse name order.
2. Specify the Total horse value and Total number of horses function fields on the report design.
3. Modify the layout of the report, as required.
4. Generate and compile the source for the access path and the report.
5. Test the implemented function.
