Use the REPORT command to separate format commands from data
commands. Always place the REPORT command before the first data
handling command (BREAK,
PRINT, TOTAL, etc.).
The REPORT command can also designate secondary data commands in
a report specification file. For example, you may begin a report
specification with an INPUT and SORT
followed by a REPORT and
your data commands for one report. You may then follow that
report with anther REPORT command and data commands, which would
product another report from the original format commands (INPUT
and SORT), as shown in the following example:
INPUT CUSTOMER
SORT ON CUST.NAME
REPORT
PRINT CUST.NAME;PHONE
REPORT
PRINT CUST.NAME;CREDIT.LIMIT
