  7. In the Control Levels screen, set a box to be placed around each group level.

    8. No column headers are necessary in the new list. We can therefore delete the option Header in the Output Options List Line screen.

  8. To display the Field Display Options screen, click on Next Screen This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.
  9. Specify a fixed output position for the fields From city, Departure time and Arrival time.

    10. This means they are always displayed from this position.

  10. In the ID, Departure Time and Arrival Time fields, highlight the Template (Tmpl.)option. These texts are then displayed with text or pre-formatted.

    11. This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

    The Tmpl. option allows you to include formatting characters in a field.

  11. To display the Field Templates screen, click on Next Screen This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.
  12. In the Field Templates screen, you can enter the template- entering a text or a separator, for example.

    13. This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

    The system replaces each underscore by the contents of the relevant field.

    The output length of the field is increased by the number of formatting characters. When you return to the Field Output Options screen after entering a template, you see the new output length in the New column.

    Caution

    When you change the output length of a field, whether directly by defining a length in the Field Output Options screen or indirectly by defining a template, ensure that the line length defined in the Title, Format screen is not exceeded. If a field is too long for the line, it is displayed on a new line. When calculating the line length, do not forget the blank characters between the fields assigned by the program.

  13. Use the Test This graphic is explained in the accompanying text function to test the query.

The list shown above appears.
