Saving With Or Without Overwriting an Existing Ruler

Now that you are ready to exit the ruler definition, you either can have this ruler replace (overwrite) the original ruler (DEFAULT), or you can save this ruler as a separate ruler:

• To overwrite the original ruler, leave the name in the Ruler name field of the Exit Option window unchanged.
• To save without overwriting the original ruler, specify a new name in the Ruler name field in the Exit Option window.

1. Fill in the fields of the Exit Option window as follows:
   • Exit option ===> 3
   • Ruler name  ===> COLOR40
   • Ruler type  ===> VIEW

   This will save the new ruler COLOR40, without overwriting the original ruler.

2. Press Enter to display the Report Viewing screen, with ruler COLOR40 as its designated ruler.

   Notice that the RUL field contains the value COLOR40.

The Header lines are colored differently than the rest of the report lines since ruler COLOR4O also contains the edits found in ruler DEFAULT.
