REPORT Mode

To display a result table as the result of a SELECT statement, QUERY implicitly branches to the REPORT mode:

In the heading, REPORT shows which section of the table is currently displayed.

In the bottom line bordering the input form, the SERVERDB name and the user name are displayed.

If the rows of the table are wider than the lines of the display area, "<<<" or ">>>" in the corners of the output area indicate that the window can be moved to the left or to the right.

REPORT commands are entered (like QUERY commands) into the command line right after ==>.

REPORT displays the total number of hit rows in the bottom right-hand corner. In certain situations, the figure is not known in advance; in such a case an '*' will be output instead of the number of rows.

In the bottom left-hand corner, REPORT displays the current table width. This is especially important for print output.
