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

Standard page formats

The results.l file contains several lines that define the standard page formats available for use in the report view of a query. Each line that defines a page format has the following syntax:

Syntax

page[integer]= "code[|code]..."

The integer argument is a unique integer value that identifies the page format definition. The integers used to identify page formats must be sequential. The code parameter is a special code followed by a value that defines the page format. All codes specified for a page format must be enclosed within a single set of double quotes and must be separated using a vertical line ( | ).

Table C–4 provides information about the different definitional codes for a page format.

Table C–4: Definitional codes for page formats 

Code	Description
c=	Specifies a label for the page format. This label represents the format in Results. Must be a unique name.
d=	Specifies the width and height of the label in inches (in) or millimeters (mm). For example, 210 x 297 mm or 3-1/2 x 1 in. Separate the width and height values using an x. The width value must be first. Specifies fractional values by separating the numerator and denominator with a forward slash ( / ). If the fractional value is preceded by a whole number, separate the whole number from the fraction using a hyphen (-).
h=	Specifies the page height in lines.
w=	Specifies the page width in characters.

The following excerpt from the result.l file shows some page format definitions:
