Specials Fields Definitions

In the (+X) Screen

From the Master Menu, double-click . From the Keyop Menu, double-click . The text-based (+) Special Programs screen opens. In the Enter Program Request field, type X. The (+X) Manual Report Executor screen opens. You can use this screen to print and temporarily modify uncataloged and cataloged reports. Through this screen, you can also save a report to a file (rather than printing it) and print a generic totals report.

Reports printed through this screen can be temporarily modified in the same ways that are available through report selector screens. In addition, reports printed here can be double-spaced.

Note: Although you can print cataloged reports through the (+X) screen, using report selector screens for this purpose is easier. However, to double-space a cataloged report, you must print it through this screen. You can also sort and limit by all available supplemental files through the (+X) screen.

The changes you can specify through the (+X) screen include:

• Changing sorts

• Changing limits

• Specifying text for variable fields

• Adding detail fields

• Showing totals only

• Printing a chain of reports

• Double-spacing reports

• Saving the print to a file

• Changing the printer

• Requesting multiple copies

• Limiting the number of records included in a report

• Limiting a report by location

• Changing low-stock reports.

If you are an Xtensions user, you can also add totals for both C-SALES and S-SALES. In addition to year-to-date totals, you can print month-to-date totals.
