List financial report definitions

The profit and loss statement definition below shows some typical uses of 'Line Type' codes.

Some highlights of this definition: 

• Multiple RRT lines are used to calculate a 100% amount.

• Database wild cards are used in the acct no/sub acct no fields to define account selection criteria for RDT, RSM, RMS, and RRT lines.

• Twelve total levels are available.  After a total prints, it is reset to zero.  Thus, to print a cumulative income amount, one must always use a higher level number, as you proceed down the report.

• Accounts can be listed in any order.  Note the 38 series of accounts printed at the bottom of the report.

• RSM summarizes accounts for the the Acct No/Sub Acct No qualifier, printing one line on the report, using the description entered.

• Not shown in this example is the RMS line type.  Multiple RMS lines aggregate to one total that is printed with the description of the last RMS line.  This provides a way to aggregate a total for out of sequence account numbers.

• RDT, RSM, & RMS lines do not print if all columns have a zero amount.

• RSH, RSU, & RTO do not print, if inclusive RDT, RSM or RMS lines have zero amounts.

• The 'Skip' lines after printing value stays in effect until a subsequent line has a non-null value.

• The change 'Sign?" value stays in effect until a subsequent line has a non-null value.
