Area Report

You can produce an Area Report for every area, or portion of an area, in a database for which statistics have been accumulated. You cannot produce reports for areas, or portions of areas, excluded from accumulation by an AREA parameter statement. An Area Report is divided into three sections: the Area Statistics Section, the Distribution Section, and the Analysis by Record Section.

Area Report fields are shown in following screen displays. In this section are descriptions of two report identification fields plus fields used in the Area Statistics, Distribution, Histogram, and Analysis by Record Sections of the Area Report. The item numbers preceding each field name and description correspond with those in the referenced exhibits. When a percentage is given, the derivation is shown. The percentage is calculated by dividing the value indicated in the numerator by the value indicated in the denominator and multiplying the result by 100 (the asterisk indicates multiplication). The item number for each value used in calculating the percentage is given in parentheses after the name of the item.
