Extended Reports for Scripts

Extended Script reports contain the entire script of the task. They comprise the contents of Include objects (header, trailer, user-defined Includes, and so on), the pre-script, and the PostScript. The comments line, however, are not logged.

Example:

Each segment of the extended report is a block with a beginning and an end line that is marked with four asterisks. The first line contains information, for example, the creation date of an Include, or the Client from which the Include is used.

Creating extended reports can be suppressed per script statement for part of the script. All script lines between :EXT_REPORT_OFF and :EXT_REPORT_ON are not logged. This also affects the contents of Includes, which are called in the suppressed script lines. A comment line is created stating the number of suppressed script lines.

For Includes called via the :INCLUDE script statement the creation of extended reports can also be suppressed with the EXT_REPORT_OFF parameter. The contents of the Include is not logged. A comment is added to the extended report.
