RDF Prompt Screens

Using RDF, you define the various report components and attributes through a series of fill‑in screens. The RDF fill‑in screens define the report characteristics as follows:

Identification

Provides descriptive information about the report. This information establishes the relationship in the dictionary facility between the report and any programs using the report.

Parameters

Defines global attributes for the report, including:

Heading

Defines detailed report and page headings and footings.

Detail

Defines specifications for the report detail lines, including:

Column Headings

Defines specialized column headings

When a new report is created, the Identification fill‑in automatically displays. After that initial display, each fill‑in screen, including the Identification fill‑in, must be accessed directly using a command or a PF key. The same screens modify existing reports.
