Report Functions

CA JARS Wizard has extensive report printing capabilities. Reports are generally produced using the LIST statement. The basic report format consists of columns of fields being printed from left to right on the report. If the suffix (SUM) is used, only summary lines are printed.

In conjunction with the basic LIST capabilities of CA JARS Wizard, additional report functions can be performed using the following statements:

EXCEPTION

Produces a detailed listing of records that meet special conditions.

RANK

Produces reports ranked on different conditions with one pass of the input records.

CALENDAR

Produces a report in calendar format.

Suffix (Gn)

Prints out the value of the field as a horizontal plot. The PLOT statement, which is optional, can be used by you to define the plot format.

XTAB

Produces a table (cross-tabulation) using user-specified data fields.

CA JARS Wizard performs automatic report formatting and control totals accumulation for numeric fields defined in the LIST statement.
