Forms, Reports, and Charts

QMF creates reports from data stored in your database. A QMF form consists of a number of panels used to control report formatting. When you select data (by running a query, importing data, or displaying a table or view), you can use QMF form panels to format the data into a report or chart. You can also use form panels to instruct QMF to perform specific calculations on report data, such as adding columns or calculating percentages.

This chapter shows the QMF form panels and describes the entry areas on each panel. The chapter also includes information on using REXX with QMF forms; edit and usage codes; and variables used in forms.
