Name = click on LOV (list of values) and select
Program - Run Financial Statement Generator

III. Define Report Set
-----------------

Responsibility = General Ledger Superuser
Navigation = Other -> Report -> Set

the request set.

Note: if the current date is outside the date you define, the request
set will not be available in the Submit Requests Window.

4. Execution
---------
Sequential: Runs reports one at a time in the specified order.
Define your report set to run sequentially if a report
depends on the results of a prior report.

Parallel: Runs reports at the same time in any order.

5. Run Options
-----------
Abort on Error: If running sequential report set, you can specify
whether to stop the report set if there is an error,
or continue running the rest of the reports in
the set.

Note: if your request cannot run because it has been disabled,
your request set fails, even if you do not check the Error on
Abort check box.

6. Incompatabilities Allowed: Leave this box unchecked to specify that
the request set may run with all other
concurrent requests or report sets.

7. Print Together: Check this check box to send all your requests to the
printer together when they complete or leave this box
blank to send each request one at time to the printer
as it completes.

Seq: Define a sequence for each report you want to run in this
report set.

Name: Select desired report from LOV. If you want to include FSG
reports, select Program - Run Financial Statement Generator.

which your responsibility allows you access to from the Submit

Copies: Enter desired number of copies to print.

Style: LOV available for some reports - others it will populate.

Save: Check this box if you want to save to a file.

Printer: Click on LOV and select a defined printer to print reports to.

Note: once the Printer has been selected, the system will automatically
move the cursor down one line. In order to set the parameters for a
report, you will need to move cursor back up to the desired line.

10. Click on the [Parameters] button. This will take you to the
Request Parameters Screen.

-- On the report line, select Default Type = Constant

-- Value: you must type in the EXACT FSG name, there is no
list of values (LOV) available for this field.

-- Period: you can specify the period as a shared parameter.
Again, you must type in the EXACT period name, there is no
LOV available for this field.

Also, on this period line, remove the default type of
SQL Statement. The type and value should be balank if you
are using a shared parameter

Name = Your report set name

3. Tab thru each line listed in the Request Set Programs to make sure
the parameters are set for each individual report.

request set.
