Eloquence Report Manual

2 Report Description Statements

All the statements in this chapter must be in a program section that begins with the REPORT HEADER statement and ends with the END REPORT DESCRIPTION statement. This block or group of statements may be anywhere within the program. If more than one report is to be written, several description blocks can be within the program.

During execution of the program, when the REPORT HEADER statement is read, Eloquence Report Writer looks for the END REPORT DESCRIPTION statement and skips execution to the statement following it. Therefore, a branching statement is not required before the report description section.

In page 65 , an example report program and resultant report are given. Many of the examples are taken from this report. Note that the example is on a fold-out page to allow for better referencing while you read.
