3 Report Execution Statements

The BEGIN REPORT Statement

The BEGIN REPORT statement initiates execution. When executed, the Eloquence Report Writer scans the report description section referenced by this statement and evaluates the non-dynamic report options in the section. If no errors are detected, all Eloquence Report Writer variables and controls are established. Only the variables which can change during the report execution are evaluated later (such as PRINT DETAIL IF condition, or header and trailer WITH number LINES parameters). Only one report may be active at a time.

BEGIN REPORT line id

The parameter is:

line id
The line identifier (line number or line label) referencing a REPORT HEADER statement.
