Issue/Introduction

Please tell me information about the indexing of a report before its first run. 

Environment

Release : 14.0

Resolution

A logical view can be defined in View, prior to the collection of any reports that will be utilizing it.

Here is a sample logical view definition:

 . Report named SAMPREPORT
 . Index name of SAMPINDEX for line 1 column 1 for length of 15

For the above, the following SARBCH statement can be used:

/DEFVIEW  VIEW=SAMPREPORT 
          NUM=1
          INDEX=(SAMPINDEX,1,1,15)

 . The following URL is for "Define Logical Views" in the View documentation:
