Choosing a Different Report Type

You can use the Report Engine window to create several types of reports. You can change from one type of report to another in one of two ways:

within the Report Engine window, type a new value in the Report field before running the report. Alternatively, type ? in the field and press ENTER to list the types of reports; then select the type of report.
after you run one type of report, select a new type of report from the Run menu in the Report Output window.

You can select the following types of reports:

LIST creates a list report
TABLE creates a tabular report
DRILL creates a dynamic report
HBAR creates a horizontal bar chart
VBAR creates a vertical bar chart
PIE creates a pie chart
PLOT creates an X by Y plot.

For any type of report other than LIST, you must assign a usage of BREAK, ACROSS, GROUP, or PAGE to at least one column, which becomes the classification column for tabular reports or the chart column for graphical reports.

To see the passenger information report as a table, type TABLE in the Report field in the Report Engine window. Select Submit from the Run menu. The following display shows the passenger information report as a table.
