Custom Reports (Report # 6-31)
Here you can custom-design reports. First set up a record
on the Word Processor. On the 3rd line of the Word
Processor record, immediately under the date line, type
the letter of the file that the report is about. For
example, C for Customers or V for Vendors. After the
letter place a comma and a number specifying the number of
lines for each record in the report. The 4th line is for
the report title. The 5th line is for report headings.
Beginning with the 6th line type the way the report should
look using a caret and the letter R to mark the beginning
of each field and a caret to mark the end of each field.
Here's an example of a report that would list your
customers names, their phone numbers and their balance.
The codes used after the letter R are in the Appendix A at
the back of the manual.
