View|Report Log

Select View|Report Log to view the current report log file. The report log displayed is associated with the active report window. For example, if the tables report is the active window, selecting View|Report Log will display the report log that corresponds to the tables report. If the frequency report is the active window, selecting View|Report Log will display the report log that corresponds to the frequency report, etc.

The Report Log provides processing information such as the following:

• Report Type (for example, Tables, Frequency, Marginal, etc.)
• Job File
• Input Data File
• Run Date (includes date and time)
• Run time (processing time)
• Run status
• Total # of cases
• Records per case
• Total cases run
• Total # of banners
• Total # of banner columns
• Total # of rows
• Total # of tables
• Total # of pages
• Average # of rows per table
• Weights ignored (Yes indicates the Run tables without weighting option was selected on the Run Tables dialog)
• Total # of significant differences
• Glossary has been applied status
• Weighting information and weight variable used (if applicable) for each banner processed

Other information about warnings/errors encountered during processing:

1. Warning messages begin with WARNING: and are color-coded in blue for easy identification.
2. Error messages begin with ERROR: and are color-coded in red for easy identification.
3. Any WARNING or ERROR message line in the report log that has a line number associated with the warning or error can be double-clicked to launch the View|Job File dialog. The cursor is positioned on the line in the job file where the warning or error occurs.

In the example above, double-clicking the ERROR messages, will open the job file and position the cursor on the appropriate line in the job file where the error occurs. In the example above, double-clicking the WARNING message, would have no effect because there is no line number associated with that warning message.

Search tools are provided at the top of the Report Log dialog for help in locating specific warnings, errors or text values:

1. Find - prefilled with ERROR: or WARNING: however, Find can also be used to search for other text fields.
2. Find Next - finds the next occurrence of the value in Find.
3. Find Previous - finds the previous occurrence of the value in Find.
4. Match case - limits the search to match the case entered in Find.
5. Match whole words - limits the search to whole words only.
