Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results Administration and Development

> ## Editing the results.l file

> The `results.l` file resides in the `aderes` directory in the Progress product directory (`$DLC\GUI`). It contains the following default site settings:

> - Characters used to delimit fields in address labels and functions in report headers and footers.

> - Standard export format definitions used in the export view of a query.

> - Standard label format definitions used in the label view of a query.

> - Standard page size definitions used in the report view of a query.

> Results uses the `results.l` file to perform the initial build of a `QC7` file for a user site. The default settings in the `results.l` file are transferred directly to the`QC7` file during the build. For more information about the `results.l` and `QC7` files, see Chapter 2, " Administering Results."

> The following sections provide more information about the default settings in the `results.l` file. You can use this information to change the delimiter characters and implement new export, label, and page formats.

> Note: If you introduce errors into the `results.l` file, you might encounter problems during the initial build of a `QC7` file. Avoid editing existing export, label, and page formats.
