How to Test and Override Default Display Formats

The formats you define in Results are local to Results. To change the formats in the database, you must use the Progress Data Dictionary.

To test different display formats, create and run a report and observe the results. If you want to change the format of fields in reports, select the Settings option in the Reports module and select the Formats and Labels option. This option enables you to change formats and labels in reports. Change the formats for a couple of fields and run the report again. If you like the results better, save the report.

In the Data Export module, you can change the format of fields in Fixed-width ASCII (SDF) format reports using the Width and Format of Fields option.
