RUN
If the AT device type is not used, the device must be LP, and the Report will run
unattached. Messages from unattached Reports are directed to the System Log file, and
accepts are taken from any data images following the @XQT command in the runstream. If
there is not enough data to match all the ACCEPT; LINC logic commands, the Report
aborts. To enter data images into the runstream, edit the element with the same name as
the Report in the following file:
See the MESSAGE; command and ACCEPT; command for methods of accepting runtime
information into a running Report. You can also pass parameter information to your
report, by including the PA; command option in the RUN; command. For more details, see
‘‘Passing Parameters to Your Report’’, later in this section.
For a UNIX LINC System
The RUN; command is interpreted as if a :RUN LINC System (colon) command had been
entered.
For a UNIX LINC System, if the input is from a terminal id the type is VD, the Report is
attached to the terminal. In all other cases with UNIX, the Report is run in background, and
any requests for ACCEPT; command input will cause the Report to terminate.
After it is initiated, the Report is not dependent on the completion of the logic of the Ispec.
Note: Do not initiate multiple copies of the same Report, as this may result in
ORACLE errors.
The destination of the Report output is determined by the setting of the output device type,
and by the value of the System Data item GLB.STN.
Any messages appear on the status line of the terminal issuing the RUN; command.
You can pass parameter information to your report, by including the PA; command option
in the RUN; command. For more details, see ‘‘Passing Parameters to Your Report’’, later in
this section. This method could be used to eliminate MESSAGE; and ACCEPT; commands
from Report logic.
In LDA Run Time
All Hosts
Only hard copy output is produced.
Values of GLB.STATUS
When the RUN; command is executed, the System Data item GLB.STATUS will contain one
of the values shown in the following table.
