Creating a report part

To construct a simple report, follow these steps:

  1. In the Organizer, create a new application called SimpleReportApp.
  2. To create a report part, from the Part menu, select New.
  3. In the Part name field of the New Part dialog, type SimpleReport. Then, from the Part type drop-down list, select Report part.

    These settings create a new part as a subclass of AbtAppBldrReport, the parent class for report parts.

  4. Select OK.

    A Composition Editor opens on a new report part as shown in the following illustration. The new report part consists of a report shell with the following parts:

    Header
    One report line with a date field, a title field, and a time field. VisualAge derives a title from the name of the report part.
    Body
    One report line.
    Footer
    One report line with a page number field.
