Specifying Parameters

You have now combined the two report functions and have a suitable report design. However, the function is not yet fully defined. If you generate and compile the program now, it would print all the race entries in the RACE ENTRY file after every horse. You need to pass a restrictor parameter from the Print Horses function to the Print Race Entries function so that only the race entries that apply to each horse are printed after each horse’s details.

There are two places where you can specify the parameters of the Print Race Entries function.

• From the Edit Functions panel of the RACE ENTRY file by typing P against Print Race Entries.
• From the action diagram of the Print Horses function.

In this example, you will use the second method. Go to the Action Diagram Editor for the Print Horses function. To do so, type F next to the Print Horses function on the Edit Functions panel.

Press Enter.
