NARA 5SDH-2
This program is capable of generating a report for each type of table used by the DMAN system.
The DMAN system has the ability to provide report format information for eight different report "groups".
Each report group contains a set of fields for each table type supported by the print system. The tables are batch, cathode, item, results, and summary.
These fields are used to describe to the report generator which table fields are to be printed. The report group fields are shared across all reports using the same report group. If the same table is used by more than one report the same table fields will be printed in both reports.
The report groups are named disp, export, log, print, print2, print3, print4, and web.
By convention certain report groups are used for certain things.
The disp group are the default data collection display window settings used by DMANmngr_v2(1) when the program is started.
The export and log groups are used by DMANserv_v2(8) for some of it’s reports. Not all of the possible fields are used because DMANserv_v2(8) at this time only generates a small number of different reports.
DMANprint_v2 can print any report using any report group. This is great for double checking to see what DMANserv might print in the runlog or getting a quick copy of the runlog in export format to pull into your favorite spreadsheet.
As mentioned above the disp, export, and log groups are used by other programs.
The remaining groups are all for use by DMANprint_v2. The print, print2, print3 and print4 groups provide capability in case more than one table field configuration is desired. Generally one starts with the print group and then uses other ones if needed.
The web group is meant to be used in cases where DMANprint_v2 is called from a CGI script to return AMS table content to a web page.
The report groups are of course all functionally identical, the names just help identify their purpose.
There is a report for each table which prints the BATCH record along with the contents of the selected table.
There is another "composite" report which prints the contents of all of the tables in a single report.
Other report types may be added as the need arises. Please use the online help to get a list of all possible report types.
Type "DMANprint_v2 --help" on the command line to get quick help about the program.
The report format fields are controlled by entries in dmngr_config_v2(5) . This table may be editted from DMANmngr_v2(1) or by using your favorite text editor.
Argument processing is done using Unix long argument syntax.
A command and it’s arguments follow the long options. Use the --help option to obtain a list of arguments and commands supported by the program.
