Naming the Execution File
Before you compile the report, you must assign a name for the Report
Execution File. You can save the execution file in a different group,
for example, group BRWEXEC, and then the execution file can have the same
name as the specification file. You can assign a password to the
execution file if you wish. (If you save the execution file in the same
group as the specification file then you will have to give the execution
file a different name.)
Name the execution file
1. Type CUSTREP2.BRWEXEC in the Report Execution File field.
If you don't have a BRWEXEC group in your account, type a unique
file name for your execution file (for instance, CUSTR2X).
Remember the name you use, you'll need it whenever this tutorial
asks you to enter the report execution file name for this report.
2. Press Enter.
BRW compiles the report.
When the compilation is finished, the screen display will be
similar to the following.
Click here to view figure.
The message "Report compiled" tells you that the compile was
successful. You can read the compilation listing from the screen
or print it out by pressing the Print Complist. The compilation
listing tells you how the data was accessed under the heading DATA
ACCESS STRUCTURE. The HP ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual discusses
how to use the compilation listing to improve the performance of
reports.
If the compilation failed, the compilation listing will also
include error messages.
3. Choose Exit to return to the Select Report screen.
