Report variables may be needed for user defined fields for any of the following types of reports:

 

•Device and ordering lists, that is reports based on any of the TARGET database files *E.DBF, *L.DBF or *2.DBF.

 

•Wire, cable or cable core lists, that is reports based on any of the TARGET database files *A.DBF or *I.DBF.

 

•Terminal lists, that is reports based on any of the TARGET database files *B.DBF or *X.DBF.

 

To cover all needs mentioned above, up to five report variables may need to be defined for each user defined field in *G.DBF. It concerns the following five cases:

 

1.Devices directly associated with the symbol in for example device lists, and the terminals that are the base of terminal lists (PAR1, position 2 = ” ”).

 

2.Devices connected on the “from side” in wire lists, cable or cable core lists, and devices connected on the internal side in terminal lists (PAR1, position 2 = ”V”).

 

3.Devices connected on the “to side” in wire lists, cable lists or cable core lists, and devices connected on the external side in terminal lists (PAR1, position 2 = ”N”).

 

4.Cable symbols for cable cores in cable core lists, and cable symbols for cable cores on the internal side in terminal lists (PAR1, position 2 = ”1”).

 

5.Cable symbols for cable cores on the external side in terminal lists (PAR1, position 2 = ”2”)

 

In the example below, all variants have been defined for both fields described in the example concerning USERATT.INI in the sub-topic named Transfer data from user defined attributes to *G.DBF above.
