Keywords
The system provides special keywords that automatically place desired information into the text portion of a financial report.
For example, if <fy1> is entered into the Text Col field, the fiscal year prints when the report is run.
Keywords must be entered with the following format: <keyword#>. For date keywords, the # represents the column from which keyword information should be retrieved.
The value displays in the position where the < is located. If you need to fit characters immediately after it, include those characters before the >.
Use these keywords:
- <cd> Current date
- <ct> Current time
- <cv> Current value. Prints the current value of the specified unit code or account in a text line.
- <cy> Current year
- <ed#> Period end date
- <eu1> Ending Reporting Unit 1
- <eu2> Ending Reporting Unit 2
- <eu3> Ending Reporting Unit 3
- <eu4> Ending Reporting Unit 4
- <ey#> Period end year
- <fd#> Fiscal year start date
- <fy#> Fiscal year
- <id> Report ID
- <pg> Print one page break
- <sd#> Period start date
- <su1> Starting Reporting Unit 1
- <su2> Starting Reporting Unit 2
- <su3> Starting Reporting Unit 3
- <su4> Starting Reporting Unit 4
- <sy#> Period start year
- <vd> Description. Prints a text description of the current value in a text line.
A column does not need to be specified for these keywords in order to display the value of the keyword. Information displays no matter whether a column is specified:
<cd>
<ct>
<cy>
<id>
When printing a date using the keyword, the # identifies the column from which the date is taken.
