Reporting Techniques
                      --------------------

This sample code illustrates the examples shown in the 1995
NOMAD Training Conference presentation "Reporting Techniques".

All the procedures were designed and tested with NOMAD
running under VM/CMS and MVS/Session Manager.  They should work
with current NOMAD releases in both MVS and VM environments.
They DO require that you load a database .. so they will not run
with Reporter NOMAD, and you will need to modify the SCHEMA if
you wish to have the database be a DB2, Teradata, SQL/DS database.

There are 28 NOMAD procedures, one SCHEMA, and this RME file,
all prefixed with "TEK".  To run the examples, you will need to:

     1. Transfer the 30 files to your host.
     2. Issue a SCHEMA NEW command for the TEK database.
          (In MVS, allocate space as you normally would.  I used
          72 2K blocks for TEK).
     3. Run the NOMAD procedure TEKLOAD, which loads data into
          the TEK database.

Now you can run any of the examples by executing the named procedure,
or you can be prompted through running all the examples by running the
procedure TEK.

In most cases, the procedure will perform one or more LIST requests
and then issue a WINDOW READ on LIST to allow you to browse the results
before proceeding with the next LIST.  The procedures work best with
WINDOWS ON.

Solutions to the "homework" problem are also included.  To run them,
you must run TEKSICK (to load additional instances into the database),
and then TEKSICK1, TEKSICK2, and TEKSICK3.  You can restore the database
for the other reports by re-running TEKLOAD.
