To specify a report, you must create a text file containing report formatting and structure statements. These statements define the data to be reported, the order of the data, the page layout, explanatory text to be inserted in the report, and the position and format of titles and data items.

There are seven types of report specification statements:

• Report Setup Statements

• Page Layout and Control Statements

• Report Structure Statements

• Column and Block Statements

• Text Positioning Statements

• Print Statements

• Conditions and Assignment Statements
