  Report Viewing                                                              

  ==============                                                              

  The V (View) option is used to display reports online in the Report         

  Viewing screen.                                                            

  When option V is specified in an Active User Report list whose              

  selection criteria did not include a specific index with a specific         

  value (or value prefix matched by a unique value), the Report Viewing      

  screen displays the whole report.                                          

  When option V is specified in a Values of Index panel, in an Active         

  User Report list whose selection criteria included a specific index         

  with an existing value, or in a Quick Access panel, the Report              

  Viewing screen displays the first report page that is pointed to by         

  the specified index value. The section retrieved may consist of one         

  page or many pages depending on how the report was indexed.                 

  Note:    Default color definitions for the Report Viewing screen are        

           specified in the User Profile. To change these definitions,        

           see your INCONTROL administrator. You can use rulers to            

ENTER END OR PF03/PF15 TO EXIT THE HELP SCREEN                         13.34.01
