Generic Text Report Structure
The creation of generic text reports uses the following rules:
The global layout of a generic text report is determined by the XML report data structure.
Data rows are shown in the sequence defined in the XML report.
Fields are shown in the sequence defined in the XML report.
Column widths are determined by the maximum of heading length and data field length.
Column headings are written into one line.
Spacing between columns is always one.
Underlines (indicating the column width) are provided for the field width of the first row.
Lines are wrapped, if they are longer than 132 characters.
Starting position for wrapped lines is one character indented from second field on the first line.
2.2.5.2
Field Values
The display of field values adheres to the following rules:
The field value display is determined by the field specific format and the specific report con-
text.
The field column heading is determined by the field, dependent of the report context.
Alphanumeric values are displayed left justified with the original value retrieved from the XML
Report data. Depending on the specific report, values from the XML reports are mapped to
some decode in the text report.
Numeric values are displayed right justified according to their field specific display format with
the original value retrieved from the XML Report data.
The specific rules for numeric values are
The decimal separator is a point.
No leading zeroes are displayed.
All decimal digits given by the field precision are displayed (e.g. 1.200 for precision 3).
"Minus signs" are written as prefix or suffix of the number, or as long/short indicator.
It is possible to have a thousand separator for the text format (e.g. 12,345,678.90).
