The following illustration is a sample Specify Field Position on Report:
There are two field positioning values that you can enter:
The sequencing number automatically defaults to the next available position on the report. If you want to insert the field in front of some other field already selected on the report, specify that field's number as the sequencing field. It will be inserted at that point and all of the other fields will be pushed down one position. If a field you previously selected is not at the position you desire, simply delete it from the report field selection screen and then reselect it.
The number of preceding blanks field allows you to select the number of blanks that will appear in front of this field on the report.
There are also several fields that are for display only. The field name and description are carried over from the field selection panel to remind you of the field you're currently working with. The numbers appearing in the box to the right are useful in formatting the report. The number shown for the field's length is the number of characters the field requires to print on the report, and is the larger of field width and heading width that was displayed on the previous panel. The remaining bytes field tells you how many bytes are still available on the report line. This does not include the current field you are defining, since the program has no way of knowing how many leading blanks you will specify (or if you will end up not selecting the report field).
Pressing the <ENTER> key adds the field to the report. If you decide that you don't want to add the field, press <END>. Either way you return to the report field selection panel. Suppose you just added a field and want to see what the new report looks like without selecting another report field. Remember, you can use the SHOW command from that screen to redisplay the field positioning screen without performing any field updates.
