Changing Buffer Size

The time required to generate a report varies depending upon factors such as the size of the database you are reporting from, the number of queries included in the script, and the size of the report buffer.

Configurable variables specify the size of the buffers used for storing and sorting data extracted by retrievals. The buffer should be large enough to prevent unnecessary read and write activities. See Report Extractor.

The following report variables are used in the conditional retrieval and data sorting commands.
