Notes:

  • For reports that are generated in an MCP non-ROC system, you should consider the following rules:

    • If DefaultDevice is LP or RP, LineLength is restricted to 80-132.

    • If DefaultDevice is DP, LineLength is restricted to 255.

    • If DefaultDevice is VD, LineLength is restricted to 80.

  • The changes you apply to this property affect the display of a report. To get a desired output in a printed report, you can configure the print properties using AB Suite Runtime Administration Tool.

    Refer to the Agile Business Suite Runtime for Windows® Operating System Administration Guide for more information.

Note: The changes you apply to this property affect the display of a report. To get a desired output in a printed report, you can configure the print properties using AB Suite Runtime Administration Tool.Refer to the Agile Business Suite Runtime for Windows® Operating System Administration Guide for more information on system modeler policy settings.
