Statements

A report definition is composed of several statements. There are five different statements possible.

• REPORT - starts definition
• SELECT - declares type of records to process
• PRINT - declares print columns
• SORT - declares sort order
• END - ends definition

Each report definition must start with the REPORT statement and end with the END statement. The other statements can appear in any order. The generation of the report is initiated after the END statement is read.
