RELEASE REPORT

The RELEASE REPORT PDL statement closes the report. This also occurs by default at the end of the run of the program. It might be useful to explicitly release a report for one of the following reasons:

• If a report is routed to a network printer from an online program, the RELEASE statement closes the report, scheduling it for printing as soon as the printer is available.
• So that a new report, using the same report definition, can be produced later in the same program run.
• When a program finishes with it since there is a limit of 15 reports that can be simultaneously active.

For the format of the RELEASE statement, see RELEASE Statement in the Programming Reference Guide.
