Format

The format defines specific column and report headings in a report, as well as the content and characteristics of each column on the report. Each report must include at least one format. You can use the same format in multiple reports and in different styles of reports. The columns going across the page most often include account numbers, account descriptions, balances, budgets, or calculated percentages. You can use data dictionary names to access both data and heading information.

Note: Formats are defined usingFormat (RW20.1) regardless of the report style.
