User-Defined Reporting and the Report Writer › User-Defined Report Examples

User-Defined Report Examples

This section provides you with three report examples:

• Example 1 produces a detail-level report with summarization.
• Example 2 demonstrates a more complex report that includes detail lines, summary lines with personalized descriptions, the grouping feature, and rate application.
• Example 3 is a summary report, the same report as Example 2, but without the detail lines.

New customers will want to produce reports right away to gain familiarity with the output. Each step of designing a user-defined report is explained, with examples. The job control statements needed to execute the report writer are provided in the "Control Statements and Tables" chapter.

The control statements for each report have a unique identifier in position 1 called the set code, which ties all the statements together for each report. In order for you to generate a specific report, the respective set code must be specified on the SELECT statement.

Up to 15 user-defined reports can be generated in a single execution of CA JARS in addition to any System Use Reports selected.
