ADDREP

The syntax for this command is as follows:

ADDREP NN = <report name> [, <report name2> ...]
ADDREP NN #<file title>

This command allows the creation of a Report entry in the Application Builder tables for system index NN. This command is used in conjunction with the ADDSYS command to manually define a system and its reports using identical properties of an existing system that resides on another version of Application Builder.

The #<file title> argument is used to specify a file that contains a list of reports to be loaded. The table entries for Reports are created from this list. <file title> must be a filename that includes the usercode and family. Each record in the file contains one report name and is left justified.

This command is mainly used in a development environment. It is used in conjunction with GENERATEREP to compare the generated report code or behavior for an application deployed with a different Application Builder version.

Note: Creating an identical system entry on another Application Builder server allows the existing system to re-generate (using the Runtime Software associated with this Application Builder) without having to generate and deploy (REBUILD) from the Client. Adding the associated report entries allows both the system and the reports to be generated directly from Application Builder. This is valuable whilst verifying new releases of AB Suite runtime software without having to generate and deploy from the Client (especially for large applications).
