Definition

A parallel report is a summary of several reports on one logical print page of any size. This logical print page can consist of one or more physical pages. Within one logical page of a parallel report, areas (windows) are defined, in each of which one report can be displayed.

Parallel reports are always assigned to a library. Each parallel report within a library has a name that is only unique in conjunction with the library name.

The report window is defined by specifying the row and column position and the length and width. You should take into account that the first row of the parallel report has position 0.
