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

Layout window

In the Reports, Labels, and Data Export modules, the layout window displays layout information about the current report, label, or data export definition. This window displays different information in each module. (The Query module does not have a layout window. Instead, it has a form window that displays record information.)

Reports layout window — Displays headers, footers, labels, and formats for the current report in a way that resembles the final report layout. For example, you can see the width of the report and how the columns line up under the labels. Sometimes it displays markers that indicate the types of fields or features in the report. For example, a *d marker below a field indicates that it is a date field. See the "Report markers" section for more information about markers.
Labels layout window — Displays the current print settings and label layout. This window also contains a diagram that resembles a mailing label form. By adjusting the settings you can easily adjust the printer settings, such as the number of characters to indent, the number of lines to skip, the width of each label, etc. You can also adjust the layout of the fields within the labels.
Data export window — Displays field and export format information. For example, it shows the fields selected for export, the export type (ASCII, Progress, and so forth), and field delimiters.
