Changing report input fields
To change the report input fields:
1. On Screen Painter, select the
Define input
action list option.
The Define Input window is displayed.
2. Enter a name in the
Variable name
field, and select
Find one
.
The defined characteristics of the variable name are displayed.
Before entering any variable names, you may first want to do a
List all
to see what
report input fields you have already defined. If you copied an existing report design, report
input fields defined for that report are also copied and available in the Define Input window.
Note:
You cannot do a
List all
or a
Find one
search on multiple fields in
the Define Input window. For a
Find one
search, you can only have an
entry in the
Variable name
field. The other fields are ignored. For a
List all
search, all fields are ignored.
3. Change data in any fields except
Variable name
, and select the
Modify
action
list option.
Successful
is displayed in the window’s status line to indicate that the input field
definition has been changed.
Note:
If you want to change a variable name, you must delete the variable. Then
add a new one.
