TBUILD builds the ENFORM 'in' files used to produce some or all of
the available charts and reports, and optionally runs TPRODUCE to
produce one 'set' of charts and/or reports. The syntax for TBUILD
is:
TBUILD { SHOW }
{ AUTO <TPRODUCE parameters> }
SHOW displays the contents of all <report-set>s available from the
most recently TGATHER-ed TPDC data, and then exits.
AUTO requests automatic report production; it causes TBUILD to
call TPRODUCE after a normal completion, passing the contents
of <TPRODUCE parameters> without checking.
The <TPRODUCE parameters> are:
{ <report-set> } [ , [ <list-file> ] [ , <option> ... ] ]
{ <report-name> }
{ <ENFORM-in-file> }
For more help on these, type TPRODUCE HELP.
