OpenEdge Reporting:<br />Query/Results for UNIX Results tour preparations

To take the tour, you must first create a copy of the Results sports database and then start Results. This section outlines the tasks you must perform and directs you to subsections for further instructions.

Set up a directory specifically to practice using Results. This directory must be different than the one where Results and OpenEdge are installed. When you are done with the practice session, you can delete the files and the directory. If you do not know how to create a directory, see your database administrator.

Although more than one user can access information in the same database, users must have their own directories to hold their generated reports, labels, and export formats.

If you want Results to default to a non-English language, edit the results.l file to set the default language you want. For details on the results.l file, see the "Running Results in non-English languages" section.

Also, you can set the PROMSGS environment variable to the language you want so that Progress messages appear in that language. For details on the PROMSGS environment variable, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .

Note: A few messages and options in Results always appear in English, even when the default language is not English. For example, in some cases, you must enter yes to accept an option. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with Results.

Create a copy of the sports database. See "Creating a copy of the sports database" section for instructions.

Start Results with the copy of the sports database. See the "Starting Results with a copy of the sports database" section.
