Setting Report Print Options
The report Options field communicates various instructions to the dialog box and/or report that can affect the contents or appearance of the output or, in some cases, change the processing steps during the running of the report. The options fall into three main categories:
- Yes/No type options that may appear as checkboxes on the secondary selection dialog box. Typically, these are used to print or suppress the printing of certain types of information. These options typically appear as strings that are prefixed with "PRINT_" (option checkbox will default to on) or "NO_" (option checkbox will default to off). For example, PRINT_HOME_PHONE would set the default to print the home phone number while NO_HOME_PHONE would set the default to not print the phone number.
- Options that will enable a specific selection prompt to appear on the related report dialog box.
- Options that will force certain data updates to occur as the data is printed on a report.
