Report Writer › Understanding Report Writer › Defining a Report Application

Defining a Report Application

Report applications are stored as entries in the $RWAPPL table for the specified application—the application is indicated by the first three characters of the report application. New report applications must be added using CAS.

Data fields for each application must be defined to Report Writer by defining a Data Fields Table, using CAS.

If the data input to your report needs to be sorted before printing, the fields on which the data will be sorted must be defined to Report Writer during definition of the report. The sort fields are stored in a Sort Fields Table which is controlled by CAS.
