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

> ## Report markers

> When you create reports, the fields you select appear in the Report Layout window. Sometimes Results puts markers under fields to indicate the features and types of fields you select for your reports. For example, a *d marker below a field indicates that it is a date field. Use Table 5–1 as a reference when you create reports.

> Table 5–1: Report layout markers
> Marker | Identifies
> --- | ---
> `*e` `n` | Stacked (vertical) array, where `n` is the extent of the array.
> `$` | Summary field (used in Totals Only reports).
> `&` | Hide repeating values field.
> `*s` | String expression field.
> `*n` | Numeric expression field.
> `*c` | Counter field.
> `*p` | Percent of total field.
> `*r` | Running total field.
> `*d` | Date field.
> `t` `n` | Total1 .
> `a` `n` | Average1.
> `n` `n` | Minimum.1
> `x` `n` | Maximum.
> `c` `n` | Count.1
> In these markers, `n` is a number between 1 and 6 representing the level of the total (or subtotal). For example, a 1 represents a total on the first order-by, and a 6 represents a grand total at the bottom (summary) line.

> A field can have as many of these symbols as you define for it, but they cannot all appear in the Report Layout window. You only see the number of symbols that fit within the width of the field. For example, a field could have 11 of the symbols defined for it and have a format that is 5 characters wide. In that case, you only see the first 5 symbols. The other symbols exist for the field, but you do not see them.
