Reporter Files

The following files are produced as a results of running a report under the Reporter (Comet 504 and higher. Assume, for this example, that the name of the report specification file is $TEST.
File     Description
=================================================================

@TEST    MTB listing file. This file is erased if the compilation
         is successful. (Created by the Reporter, written to by
         the compiler. Created on the same directory as the report
         specification file.)

{TEST    Cross-reference file linking lines in the spec file with
         lines in the generated source file. This file is erased
         if the compilation is successful. (Created by the
         Reporter, written to by the Reporter. Created on the same
         directory as the report specification file.)

`TEST    Object file that actually produces the report. This file
         is erased if the compilation gets errors. (Created by the
         compiler, written to by the compiler. Created on the same
         directory as the report specification file.)

~TEST    Generated MTB source file. This file is erased unless the
         SAVESOURCE command is used. (Created by the Reporter,
         written to by the Reporter. Created on the same directory
         as the report specification file.)

ZSPxxyy
Z2Pxxyy  Sort work files. These files are erased after the report
         finishes printing (the erase is done by the generated
         program). (Created by the generated program and written
         to by the Sort Driver, if needed.)

ZWPxxyy  Reporter work file. This file is erased after the report
         finishes printing (the erase is done by the Reporter).
         (Created and written to by the Reporter.)

         where:   Pxx is the partition number, and
                  yy is a random 2-digit number based on TIME$


         Note: The work files are created on the WORKDIR directory. 
         If no work directory is specified, the work files are created on 
         the same directory as the report specification file.
