Additional Information 

HP HP ALLBASE/4GL developer documentation reports consist of two
components.

The first component is the index list for the report, which is a list of
the items in the report.  The index can either be a full index or a short
index.  The full index contains the names of the items and the text from
both the short description fields and the full description fields from
the relevant item header screens.  The short index only contains the item
names and the text of the short description fields.  In all cases, HP HP
ALLBASE/4GL sorts the item names according to the system collating
sequence (refer to appendix A). You can suppress the index list by
entering N in the Short Index List or Full Index List field.

The second component in the report contains the details of the items
selected for reporting.  If you enter S in the ALL Entries or Selected 
Names field and leave the Selected Names fields blank, HP HP ALLBASE/4GL
does not print the second component of the report.  In this way you can
obtain an index list of some or all the items defined in an application.

If you enter A in the Catalog Item Type Number field, HP HP ALLBASE/4GL
reports on all items defined for the application.

When you press the  Commit Data  function key, HP HP ALLBASE/4GL calls an
external program that formats the documentation and writes the report to
DEV=LP. The formal file designator for the report is HP4REPT.

The sequence of printing the documentation is as shown on the top part of
the screen.  HP HP ALLBASE/4GL displays progress messages indicating the
documentation currently being produced.
