Getting a Report

Follow these steps to use the Get option to retrieve a saved report.

  1. Select Get.
  2. You see a list that contains your new report’s title:

    An asterisk (*) marks your report to show that you can load it. This means that it was created using the database that is currently connected. (To see the name of the database, press MODE (F9 or CTRL-T). Press MODE again to see the program names.)

    If you had created other reports with different databases (instead of the current database), they would have no asterisk. That means you cannot load them with your current database(s). If you created a report with an earlier version of Results, a question mark (?) marks the report to show that Results did not save the names of the databases used to create the reports. (If you created them with the current databases, use the Get option to retrieve them and the Put option to save the database names with the report names.)

    At this screen, you can load a report from another directory (if you have permission), load the report you defined, or press END to cancel the Get.

    To successfully copy a report format from someone else’s directory, the report must have been created using the database you are using. If it was created using more than one database, you must have the same databases connected in the same order.

  3. Select Order Line Report to load the report you defined and saved in the previous subsection.
  4. The Report Info and Report Layout windows for Order Line Report appear.
