Selecting a New Model Line

  1. Press the QUICKVIEW key (PF04/PF16).

    The Edit Report Columns screen is displayed.

  2. Press the END key (PF03/PF15).

    The Edit Report Lines and Columns screen is displayed.

    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.

  3. Type C in the OPTION field of the report title line (as shown below) and press Enter.

    TO SHIFT, PLACE CRSR ON THE DESIRED LINE AND USE PF10-LEFT, PF11-RIGHT 16.47.13

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.
