Using Word Processing Display Formats: DOC, WP

You can display a report as a plain text word processing document using:

  • DOC format. The report opens in Microsoft Word within your web browser. When Word opens the report, it may prompt you for information about converting text. If it does, accept the default selection. The computer on which the report is being displayed must have Word installed.

    DOC format includes page breaks, including an initial page break before the beginning of the report. If you wish to omit page breaks, issue the SET PAGE = NOPAGE command at the beginning of the procedure.

    DOC format does not support StyleSheets.

  • WP format. The report opens as plain text within your web browser.

    If you issue the SET PAGE = OFF command, or include TABPAGENO in a heading or footing, WP will indicate page breaks by including the character "1" in the first column at each break, which is recognized as a page break control in the S/390 environment. WP format does not include page breaks that are recognized by most browsers or word processing programs.

    WP format does not support StyleSheets.

You can specify that a report display as a plain text word processing document via the PCHOLD command when you run the report in WebFOCUS. For more information, see Choose a Display Format Using PCHOLD.
