## Using .DAT Files in Generated Reports

PC-DMIS uses the LOGO.DAT, HEADER.DAT, and ELOGO.DAT data files to a limited extent in a generated report. For information on these data files, see "Modifying the Edit Window's Headers and Footers" in the "Using the Edit Window" chapter.

- LOGO.DAT populates the beginning of the report.

- HEADER.DAT populates the header of each subsequent page.

- ELOGO.DAT populates the ending text on the last page of the report.

Conditions for this to Work

- You must use a report template that does not contain rules, such as default.rtp.

- The UseLogoElogoHeaderDat registry entry in the Reporting section of the Settings Editor must be set to 1, the default value.

Limitations of Using .DAT Files

- Bitmaps are placed at the top of the report, regardless of where in the .DAT files they're defined.

- The last page will not contain the HEADER.DAT information if the only item on the last page is ELOGO.DAT.
