File/Print (Windows only)
If you select this option then the report is spooled to a printer instead of writing it to a file. Click on the Print Setup button if you also want to change the print settings. Otherwise click on File to report to a file.
File Pattern
In this field you can build up a file pattern that will be used when suggesting the name for the file. You can always override the suggestion when you actually generate the file. The variables that you can use are described in the reference manual. The default file pattern for reports in the General Report Options is "$o.$t".
Report Format
You can choose between ASCII, Postscript (Motif only), RTF (Windows only) or DTP format by clicking on one of the radio buttons offered in the options box.
In ASCII format, reports will not contain charts, even if these are chosen in the options. You can output the charts using the Plot command from the selector pop-up.
In Postscript and RTF formats, both text and charts can be included, depending on the report settings.
In DTP format, so-called markups are embedded in the report for use by a word processor or desktop publishing system. This system must have macro-processing capability to be able to process this file. Any charts to be included in the report are converted to graphics files. The format of the graphics files is determined by the Plot Options. You can choose Postscript (or Metafile under Windows) format for example.
A set of standard codes is generated by ProMod-PLUS with the report. These codes are then mapped to macros by means of a mapping table. A sample mapping table is provided but in order to use this option you should first set up your own
Indentation
This option enables you to set indentation for Design (MD and TD) and OOA/OOD reports.
Print (Motif only)
If you select this option then the report is spooled to a printer as well as written to a file. Click on the Print Options button if you also want to change the print options for reports. See Print Options for details.
