Defining the data for a custom report
List the Report Input Variables
To list the report input variables:
1. Select the List inputs action list option to see the variable names previously
defined on the Define Input window.
The List Inputs window is displayed.
2. Print the window's contents via the
window option.
3. Press
The List Inputs window closes and the cursor returns to the Row Search window.
Note:
Select a Row Search ID
From the Row Search window, enter a number from 0 to 9 in the Row search ID field.
The ID identifies the set (or one of the sets) of row search conditions you are using in the
report. Thus, for a single report, you can use ten different sets of conditions to select rows
of data.
You can create a new set of conditions from scratch or use Find one with the
Next/Previous actions to view and/or change an existing set of conditions. (If you have
already assigned row search conditions to a field/bar on Screen Painter, the row search ID
is displayed as the first character in that field/bar.)
If you are going to use multiple tables, at least one "join" clause must be displayed in
the Row Search ID assigned to the field.
A "join" clause makes the values that CMS searches on the same in both tables.
Therefore, the data extracted from the rows in both tables is related.
A "join" clause has the following format:
tablename1.item1 = tablename2.item1
where
Note that there are different types of "join" clauses.

more information on "join" clauses.

If you defined report input fields in the Define Input window (or you copied a
report design that has report input fields), your row search criteria use the
variable names for those input fields. Conversely, to use a variable name in
your row search criteria, an input field with that variable name must first be
defined in the Define Input window.
