Delivery Audit Report 

When HPDesk delivery is used, the HP ALLBASE/BRW execution program
(BRWEXEC.PUB.SYS) generates delivery audit trail messages in the
execution statistics that print to your screen.  These messages show:

   *   the delivery service

   *   the files generated

   *   the address where the files were sent

   *   any messages rejected by HP Desk

The example below shows a sample execution statistics record:

In addition to the execution statistics generated by HP ALLBASE/BRW,
usual HPDesk reporting of a successful signon is done to the console and
to the HPDesk Statistics file.

Examples 

This section gives the details of some example reports.

Example:  Switching destinations 

Suppose you have a report that lists the turnover for each sales area.
The customer records are sorted on SALES AREA as the first-level break,
and the total for each area is calculated on the first break footing.
You want to send the area turnover totals to the appropriate area
managers.  So you specify a calculated item, AREA-MGR-ADDRESS, with this
formula:

     IF SALES-AREA = "EASTERN" THEN "Peter SMITH / HPB200/90"
        ELSE IF SALES-AREA = "NORTHERN" THEN "Jane GREY / HPC340/00"
           ELSE IF ...

This will return the address of the sales area manager.  On the Define
HPDesk Selection screen, you type the item name AREA-MGR-ADDRESS in the
contained in Item field instead of typing a literal address for the
recipient of the report.  Select to switch destination on break level 1
(for the sales area).  Then, HP BRW-Desk/XL will do the following:

   *   Split the report at each level 1 break.

   *   Send the details and break linesets within that break, as a
       separate report, to the address taken from the value of
       AREA-MGR-ADDRESS on the break footing (that is, the last detail in
       the break).

In this way your report will be split and automatically sent to the
appropriate area managers!

When you switch destinations, HP ALLBASE/BRW always takes the value of
the address from the item on the break footing (that is, the last detail
in the break).

The reports shown next represent the results of sending a report with
switched destinations.

Note that for each report, the page number is reset to 1.

Example:  Sending an output file 

Suppose you want to send the MIS Department a file through HPDesk that
they can download and use in year-end reporting.

To make sure that the MIS department receives the total turnover for all
sales areas, you can send them an output file containing the report
footing (a summary of the total turnover for the year).

   *   Create an output file for the report footing.

   *   From the Output File screen, choose other keys and then Define
       Delivery.

   *   Specify the MIS department on the Define HPDesk Delivery screen
       for the output file.

The output file will have one record, the total turnover: 170902.73 If you wanted the formatted report footing (with headings and so on), you could print the report in addition and send the paper copy of the report to the MIS department.
