To generate a Detailed Table Report:

  1. Choose Database > Reports > Detailed Table. The Data Dictionary alphabetically lists all the tables defined for your database.
  2. Select a table or type ALL. The Report Options dialog box appears:


  3. Specify the report destination. You can display the report on your terminal, print it, or save it to a file. If you want to save the report to a file, specify the filename and whether to append the report to an existing file.
  4. Specify the page length.
  5. Specify whether to order the fields by order number or alphabetically, then choose OK.

    If you specified a file or printer, the Data Dictionary generates the report to the specified output destination. The Data Dictionary main window then reappears.

    If you sent the report to the terminal, the Detailed Table Report dialog box appears. You can choose Change Field Order to reorder the fields, choose Print to print the report or write it to a file, or choose OK to close the Report Options dialog box.
