Assigning multiple formats

You can assign a total of eight formats to a report. For example, you can display total wages and total head count in the same column using multiple formats. You must assign the additional formats to a row line. Use this procedure to assign additional formats to a report.

Note: When defining several similar formats, you can copy and modify an existing format.

Before you begin, you must define formats before assigning them.

To use different report or column headings for additional formats, use the Two Line Heading option on the Additional Information subform for the type of row you are defining.

Note: If you generate a report with multiple formats, then the column numbers must be the same in each format to get correct totals across formats.

Access Report Writer (RW00.1).
Inquire on the report to which you want to assign multiple formats.
On the Formats tab, select up to seven additional formats.

Note: If you are not using multiple formats, the Format Override field sets Format 1 as default.
You must assign the format that you want to use to a row line. From the type of row you are defining, access the Additional Information (RW10.6) subform. In the Format Override field, select the correct format number (not the format name) to assign to the row line.
