This chapter includes the following topics:
OverviewLink copied to clipboard
This chapter introduces the use of rulers in the online viewing of reports. Rulers provide great flexibility in report viewing. In this chapter you will:
-
View online a report that was designed for printing, and learn how rulers can change the way your report appears.
-
Use the Report Editing screen to specify a ruler and access other editing screens that are used to define rulers.
-
Use the Edit Report Lines and Columns screen to define headers that do not move when the report is scrolled up and down, and to select a model line for defining a column freeze operation.
-
Use the Edit Report Columns screen to freeze columns so they do not move when the report is shifted left and right, and to color report columns.
-
Use the Color Lines Based on Strings screen to color report lines.
-
Use the Include Lines Based on Strings screen to determine which records are to be included in your report, and to color the included lines.
-
Use the QUICKVIEW key to move between your current editing screen and the Report Viewing screen to check the ruler.
-
Use the Exit Option window in the Report Editing screen to save, temporarily keep, or cancel your report edits.
-
Use the RULER command in the Report Viewing screen to activate, deactivate, and switch between rulers.
-
Use the Notepad facility to create a note that is tagged to a string in your report.

====== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> N E W P A G E <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ======At this point in the exercise you will not study this mode. However, because the screen examples appearing in this guide were produced with Show Page mode off, you should turn off Show Page mode to better follow the exercises described in this guide.
If Show Page mode is on, turn it off by typing SHOWPAGE (one word) in the COMMAND field and pressing Enter.
Need for Reformatting ReportsLink copied to clipboard
The EMPLOYEES-MARKETING report is a personnel report listing employees and certain pertinent information about them. Beneath the title EMPLOYEES REPORT – FOR MARKETING DEPARTMENT are the column headers for the report fields (EMPLOYEE NO., EMPLOYEE NAME, and so on).
Not all fields in the EMPLOYEES-MARKETING report are immediately visible. The report is designed for printing on 132-column paper, and is over 100 characters wide. The screen display is usually 80 characters wide. To see the INSURANCE field, for example, it is necessary to press the RIGHT key (PF11/PF23).
This exercise illustrates how to find the insurance premium (in the INSURANCE field) for the employee named K. Wood and then reformat the report to find information on it easier.
Begin
-
Press the RIGHT key (PF11/PF23).
The UNION DUES, INSURANCE, SICK DAYS, and VAC DAYS fields of the report are now displayed.

Because the EMPLOYEE NAME field is not displayed while the INSURANCE field is displayed, for example, it is difficult to immediately identify which insurance premium belongs to K. Wood. As the report is currently formatted, you would have had to remember that the record for K. Wood was the seventh row down before shifting over to the right.
-
Press the LEFT key (PF10/PF22) to return to the first report screen.
Because the EMPLOYEES-MARKETING report displays over an 80 column screen and you are looking for a field which is past the 80th line, it would be convenient if you could keep, for example, the EMPLOYEE NUMBER and EMPLOYEE NAME fields "frozen in place" while you shift the report left and right to find other fields.
This can be done using Control-D rulers.
-
For the next example, press the DOWN key (PF08/PF20).
Look at the value 10 in the record for S. Hawthorne.

It is not clear what the 10 represents, because the column headers have scrolled out of view.
The column headers have scrolled out of view because the report was developed to display column headers only at the top of each page. Since printed reports usually contain about 60 to 80 lines per page but screens usually display about 20 to 24 lines, column headers from one page scroll off the screen before the column headers from the next page are displayed.
The problem of scrolling headers also can be solved using Control-D rulers.
RulersLink copied to clipboard
A ruler is a set of screen-editing rules that make a report look different when displayed or printed.
Rulers can be used to do the following:
-
Define headers.
-
Freeze report columns in place.
-
Re-position fields in the screen layout.
-
Eliminate unwanted or unnecessary fields from the display.
-
Select records for inclusion in (or exclusion from) the display.
-
At sites with color monitors, rulers can also be used to color and highlight the displayed report.
In this exercise you will create a ruler that can:
-
Identify report Header lines so that they do not scroll out of sight.
-
Freeze the EMPLOYEE NO. and EMPLOYEE NAME fields in place so that they are visible even when the display is shifted to the right.
Quick Ruler Definition (QUICKVIEW) KeyLink copied to clipboard
Ruler creation begins on the Report Editing screen, which can be entered from the Report Viewing screen by pressing QUICKVIEW (PF04/PF16), the Quick Ruler Definition key. It is also possible to enter the Report Editing screen by entering the EDIT command (listed in the Instruction line at the bottom of the Report Viewing screen).
Pressing the QUICKVIEW key alternately takes you between the Report Viewing screen and your current ruler editing screen.

When defining freeze operations, it is recommended that the model line be a line on which the operations are to be applied in the report.
When you defined a freeze (on columns 001 – 027) for all lines in the report, you selected line 2 to serve as a model line.
Because you are now about to define a new freeze operation for line 1 only (the title line), select line 1 as a new model line.

The line range is still 001 – L01, and columns 1 through 27 are still frozen. This "old" freeze definition is displayed because it remains the current definition of your new model line (the report title line) until changes are made.
Before defining the new freeze operation for the title line, note the COLOR and HILITE lines above the FREEZE line on the Edit Report Columns screen.
These lines can be used to specify colors and highlights for any columns (in the specified line range) in the report.
When you define this new freeze operation, you will also color the words EMPLOYEES and MARKETING in the report title.
Specifying a New Freeze and Column ColorsLink copied to clipboard
In order to perform the desired edits, you must first redefine the line range so that the new freeze and column coloring operations apply only to the title line, line 1, of each report page:
Begin
-
Change the LINES to value from L01 to 001, so that the line range is now defined as 001 –001. This ensures that the change is applied only to the first line.
-
Use the NEWLINES key or arrow keys to position the cursor under the C in the word COLOR. This is the first action needed in order to color the words EMPLOYEES and MARKETING in green (for details of valid color codes, see Valid Color and Highlight Options).
-
Using the SPACEBAR (not the RIGHT key) to move the cursor, type Gs in columns 14 through 30 and columns 64 through 72 in the Color line.
-
Redefine the freeze to extend the length of the report line by typing Fs for the length of the Freeze line.
The screen appears as follows:

In this exercise you will design a report where the records of employees with an annual salary of 40,000 or more are prominently displayed without having to read through the entire report.
To do this, you can use a ruler to request that such records appear in a specific color (and/or with a special highlight) when viewed online.
Begin
-
First, use the Column Numbering line in the Report Viewing screen to determine the column numbers of the ANNUAL SAL field.
Annual salary appears in columns 36 through 41.

Defining Color and Defining Multiple Strings in the Include ScreenLink copied to clipboard
Each Include definition line contains fields that can be used to specify colors and highlights for included report lines. Specified colors and highlights are applied to the entire report line. Available color and highlight codes are the same as in the Color Lines Based on Strings screen and the Edit Report Columns screen.
You can now modify ruler OFN08 so that it contains multiple Include criteria and specifies color characteristics for included lines.
Begin
-
Press the QUICKVIEW key (PF04/PF16) to display the Report Editing screen.
The RULER NAME field contains OFN08.
-
Type 2 (the Include lines based on option) in the COMMAND field and press Enter.
The Include Lines Based on Strings screen, with the edits from ruler OFN08, is displayed.

-
Employees with a salary of 50,000 or more are to be displayed in red.
-
Employees with a salary from 40,000 to 49,999 are to be displayed in blue.
You should perform this exercise even if you are not working on a color monitor.
-
-
Typing over the 08 string entry, define your Include ruler to contain the string, column range and color definitions shown in the figure below:

-
When multiple Include strings are specified, checking for strings in each record begins with the first Include definition in the Include screen and continues either until a match is found (and the record is included in the report) or until the last Include definition has been checked.
-
The order of Include string definitions may be significant.
A record that matches several Include definitions is displayed with the color and highlight specified in the first matching Include definition.
In the above example, a record with an annual salary of 50,000 or more is included in red before it gets a chance to be included in blue. If the order of the string entries had been reversed (that is, the .GE.40,000 definition had been placed before the .GE.50,000 definition), then records with a salary of 50,000 or more would have been included in blue.

-
Press the QUICKVIEW key (PF04/PF16) to check the results of the edit.
The report looks as follows:

Logical Operations for String Fields in RulersLink copied to clipboard
In the string entry, .GE.40,000, the 40,000 identifies the actual search string and the .GE. identifies the logical search operation to perform, namely a "greater than or equal to" search.
In the previously specified string entry, search string 08 was specified without an operator. An equivalence check was performed (that is, report line strings were checked to see if they were equal to ruler-defined strings).
All "string-checking" edits (Color, Include, and Exclude) operate this way:
-
Strings specified without operators are subject to equivalence checking.
-
Logical operations (other than equal to) are indicated by typing .operator.string in the STR field.
Valid operations (and operators) are listed below:
Table 6 Valid Operators in Ruler String Fields
| Operator | Logical Operation |
|---|---|
|
.GT. |
Greater than |
|
.LT. |
Less than |
|
.GE. |
Greater than or equal to |
|
.LE. |
Less than or equal to |
|
.NE. |

Notepad Facility and Tag NotesLink copied to clipboard
Sometimes it is useful to add comments to a report for you or others to read, or to read the comments of others. The Notepad facility allows comments, or notes, to be added to reports. These notes can be read, modified and deleted.
Two types of notes can be defined:
-
General notes, that are explained in Report List Screens, apply to entire reports. They are defined in the Active User Report List screen.
-
Tag notes are applied to specific strings in the report and are defined in the Report Viewing screen.
Use the following steps to page down a screen and define a note that is tagged to the string S. Hawthorne.
