Data Area
Data is generally defined by first identifying the items you do NOT want, then accepting everything else that is not blank. After creating the header and footer, you need to identify data lines that are redundant. These are the line sets to be removed:
- Subsequent page headings
- Continued and Carried forward messages
- Underlines
- Total texts that are redundant
You can then accept all remaining lines with a simple "not blank" test.
To create a data area in your entry:
- Select Data area from the
Insert menu or click the Insert document
detail line tool
button on the
toolbar. - Highlight the line(s) in the Mapping window that represent a data area and release the mouse button. The data area is displayed in purple and your data area listed in the Areas window.
You would now set up rules to identify each Detail, and set all of the details you do NOT want to print (left click) Properties, Suppress output.
