Saving the Report Definition
When you save a report definition, Report Builder saves it to a report library. If you have already opened a report library, Report Builder saves the report definition there by default. If you have not already opened a library, Report Builder prompts you to open or create one. If you have already opened a library, you can save the report into that library or another one.
Follow these steps to save the completed report layout:
- Choose Report
Save or the Save button. The Open Report Library dialog box appears:
![]()
- Specify the
Tutorial.prl
report library, then choose OK to accept the report library name. The Save As dialog box appears:
![]()
The report library name,
TUTORIAL.PRL
appears at the top of the dialog box. Notice that there are already several report definitions inTutorial.prl
, including Accounts Receivable Sample. These are the report definitions for all the sample reports in this tutorial.- In the Save Report Name field, type Accounts Receivable Sample. The report name can consist of any characters except commas and can contain up to 32 characters.
- Choose OK. Report Builder saves the report definition as “Accounts Receivable Sample” in the
Tutorial.prl
library and returns to the report layout window.
