Private        ===> _  (Y/N)           Secured      ===> _ (Y/N)

Display Attributes:                                                              
   Default View       ===>  NO         Lock Left Column ===> YES                           
   Carriage Controls  ===>  NO                                                  
                                                                                
Data Extraction by Page:                                                       
   Pages   to Exclude ===>  1     (Pages are excluded from top of file  )      
   Records to Exclude ===>  7     (Records are excluded from top of page)      
   Records to Display ===>        (Leave blank for entire page)                
                                                                                
To select the following, enter  the 1-character code on the command input line:
     H - Define primary heading         P - Define page indexing criteria     
     C - Define column specifications   L - Define color specifications         
                                                                                
            Enter END command to reenter viewing of report.       

The values in the fields indicate that:

• This is not a default view.
• The leftmost column is locked.
• Carriage controls are not displayed.
• Page one of the report is excluded (because the first page was a title page).
• The first seven records from the top of each page are excluded (because these records contain the standard headings, and we create our own).
