This feature allows the linking of two separate UDR reports so that they run one-after-another automatically and pass input selection criteria from the first report to the second (where it is applied automatically). The assumption is made that the reports are based on the same database.
Select ‘General Parameters’ and at the bottom of this screen are options to reference up to five custom/profiler plus points.
Set the option number ‘9905’ as the custom point number and leave the ‘Params’ option blank. You will then be prompted to change the ‘Link to Another User Defined Report’ definition – respond ‘Yes’ to this.
Parameter of Linked UDR – enter the parameter details of the UDR you wish to link to in the format AAA/M/N. AAA is the three-character application id, M is the Menu Number and O is the option number.
Master Sel Entries– this option asks for the entry numbers on the ‘TO’ report which are to be updated from the ‘ORIGINAL’ report.There are six inputs corresponding to the six potential lines of criteria on this report and you are prompted for the matching line of criteria to update on the ‘TO’ report.
Pass First Master List CODE To Sel Item No (1-6) – as an alternative to using selection criteria on the first report you may have used the LIST option to select the record reported. This option asks for the selection criteria line on the second/subsequent report that is to be updated with the VALUE of the first record selected on the original report.
