You use formatting commands to determine the visual design of the report and to control the display of the data values. Formatted data values are displayed in the report when you run the script, based on the combined extraction and report commands.
Formatting commands enable you to customize the format and appearance of a report and create report-time calculations. Formatting commands are generally enclosed in braces ({ }), although several formatting commands begin with the less-than (<) character.
Formatting commands are either applied globally within the report script or are specific to a member.
