the group, the minimum field value in the group, and the record counts of the

data on a text element or a box element.
Elements
The record layout and the page layout are defined by placing text, page segments,
lines, boxes, graphics, or bar codes, which are called elements.
The data in the database file record can be specified as text elements, bar code
elements, the text in box elements, page segments, or graphics elements in a
record layout.
The fixed data can be specified as text elements, line elements, box elements, bar
code elements, page segment elements, or graphics elements in the record layout
or the page layout.
If you print data in a field as a text element, text in a box element, a bar code
element, a page segment, or a graphics element, specify the field name which is
appended by an ampersand (&) before the name and a period (.) after the name as
a parameter of the element data.
See Chapter 13, “Design Operation” on page 219 for more information.
Record Selection

the field to be printed. When you don't specify this option, all data in the database
file record is printed.

be printed, such as:

Member
The value of the field in the input database file is used as the object name. In
| some cases, the values in the database file may not be appropriate for object
| names. For example, values like 'A.B.C' or 'IBM Corporation' cannot be object
names. You do not need to change the data in the database file. Instead, you
should specify mappings from these values to object names on the Specify
Mapping Object Name display.
