Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results for UNIX

> ## Introduction to the field display formats

> The display format of a field determines the way the data in that field is shown on screens and in printed reports. For example, display formats indicate how many spaces Results should put in the display, and if there should be dollar signs, decimal points, or other special characters. Results uses default display formats for any field, variable, or expression you display or print. You can override the default formats in the Reports and Data Export modules using the Settings option. (In the Data Export module, you can only change the formats of fields exported in Fixed-width ASCII (SDF) format.)
