Report Exit Procedures

A Report Exit is an NCL procedure that lets you do specialized processing of data while a report is being generated. Functions that can be performed by a Report Exit procedure are as follows:

• Initialization processing, for example, opening files and defining vartables
• Specialized field formatting, for example, complex arithmetic and conditional suppression of data
• Item processing, for example, retrieving data from another source
• Termination processing, for example, closing files and deleting vartables
