Report Search Logic
The Report Maintenance screen attaches printing and layout information to a specific report or set
of reports. For flexibility, the report name can be defined by its filename, job name, user name,
account name or device name. Use the
@
sign for any part of the report name that is undefined, for
example:
GLDLRPT.GENLEDG.GLUSER.PROD.LP
GLDLRPT.GENLEDG.@.@.@
GLDLRPT.@.@.@.@
@.GENLEDG.GLUSER.PROD.@
The Report Search Sequence field allows you to define the search logic for the reports in the banner
database. This is accomplished with a sequence of search templates located in the Banner Control
Information screen of the maintenance program.
A search template is defined as:
[1:1] = ‘F’ or ‘@’ (filename)
[2:1] = ‘J’ or ‘@’ (job name)
[3:1] = ‘U’ or ‘@’ (user name)
[4:1] = ‘A’ or ‘@’ (account name)
[5;1] = ‘D’ or ‘@’ (device name)
If the first character in the template is
‘F’
, the filename specified in the
BANNER
command must
match the filename defined in the report name in the database. If the first character is
@
, the report
filename must be
@
. This is the same for session name, user name, account name and device name.
Up to eight of these templates can be defined in the maintenance program. The default values used
by
BANMAIN
are:
‘FJUAD’
‘F@UA@’
‘F@@@@’
‘@@@@@’
