Formatting Reports and Plots
Measure provides two types of data displays:
You can also use MEASCOM to convert Measure data files, which are unstructured, to
structured files. Report-writing products, such as the Enform query product and the
NonStop SQL/MP Report Writer, can access structured files to produce more
customized reports of measurement data.
Controlling Content and Format of Reports
When you enter the LIST entity-type , LISTALL entity-type , and LISTACTIVE
entity-type commands, MEASCOM displays the measurement data for the
specified entity vertically in lists on a screen or page. Multiple reports are displayed
one after another. Continuations are indicated by a double plus sign(++) in the prompt
area on a screen.
To change the content and format of reports, either:
•
Set REPORT attributes in MEASCOM. The settings apply until you reset them,
change them, or end the session. They return to their default values when you exit
MEASCOM.
•
Specify REPORT attributes and reporting clauses in the LIST entity-type ,
LISTALL entity-type , and LISTACTIVE entity-type commands. The
settings override the REPORT attribute settings but apply only to the command
that contains them.
REPORT Attributes
The LIST entity-type and LISTALL entity-type commands generate reports for
one or more entities from data in active and inactive data files. The LISTACTIVE
entity-type command generates reports for one entity at a time from data in active
counters. With REPORT attributes, you can modify the content and format of any
reports produced by these commands.
