The Permanent User Report List file can be referred to as a report catalog. It contains, for each user, the list of reports the user (recipient) can receive at any time, their copy count (for the user), the print destination (if it is not one of the main computer printers such as LOCAL), and other information.
The Permanent User Report list file is used by end users (recipients) to permanently define the number of (printed) copies they want to receive from each report (in a given category), to request that the report be printed on a local printer, to assign a copy of the report to another user, and to permanently define other report list defaults.
Once a day, the report list in the Permanent User Report List file can be copied to the Active User Report List file. The user, for example, can change the copy count of the reports on the Active User Report List file, but that change remains in effect only for that day. On the next day, the reports of each user are copied again from the Permanent User Report List file to the Active User Report List file with the original (permanent) copy count. Using this simple method, the user can either set the copy count of a report permanently by modifying it in the Permanent User Report List file (using the Online Permanent User Report list screen), or temporarily modify it for a specific day in the Active User Report List file (using the Online Active User Report List screen). All other updatable fields (parameters) work the same way.
