The Notepad facility enables the user to append notes to reports. A note can be read, modified or deleted using the Note window. Depending on the site security mechanism, other users may or may not access these notes for viewing and/or modification.
Notes appended to a report migrate with the report. Notes can be appended to a migrated report.
Notes appended to a report are backed up with the report to the History User Report file. These notes are restored with the report when it is restored to the Active User Report file. Notes are kept on the mainframe and are accessible via the Control-V Online Interface and Control-D/WebAccess Server using Control-D/Page On Demand.
Two types of notes can be defined:
