Extracting statistics for workstation reporting tools
The statistics files used to produce ENFORM reports OBB018, OBB019 and OBB025
are comma delimited files that can be imported in MS-Excel, MS-Access or similar
tool. These statistics files contain detailed information, a record per operation. MS-
Access or other data base tool must be used to produce summaries.
To get statistics in a workstation tool able to import comma-delimited files,
- A NonStop file is prepared by the macro BB030_EXTRACT_STATS
- The prepared file is downloaded to the workstation
- A PC tool is used to import the downloaded file as comma-delimited file
BB030_EXTRACT_STATS usage
For extracting from the possible multiple statistic files, a single file containing the
chosen activity period, the same macro BB030_EXTRACT_STATS used for preparing
ENFORM reports must be run. This macro also ensures a proper comma-delimited
format for statistic files since BackBox V1.64.
Here is a sample of TACL commands that are afterward split in three groups of lines
to be documented:
