Reports

An important component of the SCHEDULE is a general purpose report writer. The SCHEDULE system interfaces this report writer to the SCHEDULE database. The report writer is controlled by a group of report definitions. A group of 80 (32 history data, 48 control data) report definitions are provide with the system. All these definitions can be customized as needed or new ones defined.

There are two types of data that can be used by the report writer.

1. Control data which contains all the static information about what a job is and how to schedule it.
2. History data which contains all the historical information about scheduling state changes.
