Has userreports.pbl vanished?

Matthew Hodge

Hi,

I wanted to have a look at modifying the d_mailing_labels object that Tessi uses in the User Defined Object From a List. From what I understand of the documentation and hunting around on TASK, when you select something like a label, it:

a) Looks up the object in T_FORMAT_INFO.

b) Then (and this is not perfectly clear in the documentation), I presume it goes and finds the D object (say, d_mailing_labels) from userreports.pbl?

Where I'm running into problems is that I can't find a userreports.pbl in our User Reports folder. The only .pbl that contains those label objects in question is one called SampleFormats80.pbl.

I tried a quick test, just by making a copy of d_mailing_labels and calling it ud_mailing_labels and getting the T_FORMAT_INFO to point to it. It didn't work.

So my questions are:

1. Where is the .pbl that the existing label objects are stored in and that any custom label objects need to be stored in?

2. Has it been renamed from userreports.pbl to something else, or have I got something wrong?

And maybe at some stage, it would be great to see some documentation added that explains clearly where labels need to be located to be referenced by T_FORMAT_INFO?

    Ken, thanks for that great explanation answer to Matt’s question.  I couldn’t have said it better myself.

     

    Matt, I’m working on clarifying the documentation regarding pbls and T_FORMAT_INFO.  In the documentation on User Defined Output from a List there was definitely some information missing.  To make sure I don’t overlook anything, can you tell me exactly which documents you looked at?

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Kevin,
     
    Thanks for the reply. The documents that I went looking through was first of all the help documentation for the report User_Defined_Format_from_A_List.doc, where I was checking out the Technical Summary to find out where the Infomaker object was. That pointed me to the T_FORMAT_INFO table.
     
    I then think I looked at the T_FORMAT_INFO entry in the Systems Table entry. I think what's missing is a reference to explain where the .pbl that houses the reports is located so you can add your own, etc.
     
     
    Cheers,
