Types of Reports

Three types of reports are typically available for each of the basic entity and teleprocessing entity reports:

Type

Number

Description

Summary

 

053 - 068

List all occurrences of a particular entity type with a minimal amount of supplementary information about each occurrence, such as the version number, description, and the dates the occurrence was defined and updated.

Detail

 

001 - 019

List every occurrence of a particular entity type with in-depth descriptions of the entity and its relationships with other dictionary entities. You can also run a detail report with a SELECT or BYPASS parameter to report on entities that meet a specified test condition. For example, instead of running a detail report that lists all modules, you could use a SELECT parameter to report on only those entities that were created by a particular user and updated on a particular date.

Key

 

 

Are identical to the detail reports in format but list only the entity occurrences specified as key values in the KEY parameter. More than one KEY parameter can be specified for a particular report; each KEY parameter must be specified on a separate line. The syntax for the KEY parameter is described later in this section. The key field names used in the KEY parameter are presented in Key Field Names for Key Reports table.
