Reports that produce an output other than a text file (for example HTML or PDF) are displayed in a browser. If you set the profile option VIEWER: TEXT to Browser, your text files are also displayed in a browser as opposed to the Report Viewer. VIEWER: TEXT may also be set to display your output in a text editor such as Microsoft Word, or in a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel.
You can use the Save As functionality of your browser to save an HTML report to your desktop. If your system supports multiple languages, you may have trouble with the saved output. Ask your system administrator for assistance with character set conversion from the server to your browser.
The name of the output/report file passed to the browser is created dynamically. The concurrent program name and the date on which the request was run are used to create the name of the file. The file extension is based on the Output Type" attribute of the concurrent program.
For example:
Request 1234 for the "Year End Exception Report" is run on September 27, 2001 and has an output file named o1234.out.
When you view this report online, 'Year End Exception Report_270901.html' is passed as the name of the file to the browser in the content header in addition to the mime-type. You can then save the file locally using this name.
