Use the Selective Reports sheet and the Selective Templates sheet of the Report Unload dialog to select the template and report definitions that you want to unload to a flat file. These sheets are enabled only for selective unloads; that is, when you select the Selective Templates or Selective Reports option buttons.
You can specify any of your existing report or template definitions for uploading to a flat file.
To specify templates and reports for unloading to a flat file
Click on the Selective Reports tab or the Selective Templates tab of the Report Unload dialog.
The Selective Reports sheet or the Selective Templates sheet of the Report Unload dialog is then displayed. An example of the Selective Reports sheet is shown in the following image.
The procedures for selecting reports or templates are the same.
All available reports or templates are shown in the list box on the left of the dialog. Reports or templates currently selected for unloading are displayed in the list box on the right of the dialog. The Show reports for current schema only check box is checked by default. Only reports defined for the current schema or any superschema are displayed for selection. To display all reports defined in the database for selection, uncheck the Show reports for current schema only check box.
Select the report or template definitions you want to unload, by performing one of the following actions.
Click on the name of a single report or template to select it.
To select a group of consecutive reports or templates, click the first item in the group, hold down the Shift key, and then click the last item in the group.
To select a group of non-consecutive reports or templates, click the first item of the group, hold down the Ctrl key, and then click each subsequent item that you want to include.
Click the add selected (>) button to add the selected reports or templates to the list box on the right of the dialog. Alternatively, click the add all (>>) button to add all of the available reports or templates to the list box on the right of the dialog. You can then select reports and templates to exclude from this list, by using the selection techniques described in step 3.
Click the remove selected (<) button to remove selected reports or templates from the list box on the right of the dialog. The removed reports or templates become available in the list of reports or templates on the left of the dialog.
Alternatively, click the remove all button (<<) to remove all reports or templates from the list box on the right of the dialog. The removed reports or templates become available in the list of reports or templates on the left of the dialog.
Click on the Unload options sheet tab to select options for the unload process, or select further reports or templates for unloading by clicking on the Selective Reports tab or the Selective Templates tab, respectively.
