1.4.3.6 Specifying Common Extended Options

Supplied with the Reporting Analysis queries and Analysis
tools queries are panels that you can use to specify
additional options that are normally defaulted.

Typing a Y at the "Specify extended options" prompt on any of
the query definition panels displays an Extended Options
Menu.  The common extended options are shown in Figure 1-29.

Note: These are the most common extended options; each query
may not have all of these options.  Extended options unique
to a particular query are documented in the query's Component
Operation section of this guide.
