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.
