Here are 2 doubts about MU and PE

1. What statement is required before using a PE field in reporting mode?

2. How do we reference an element of an ADABAS MU or PE group in reporting mode?

I do not have much clarity on these questions as these questions were part of a written test appeared by my friend.

And I do not have any extensive knowledge on reporting mode (so that I could have attempted to amswer) programming except the concept of it.

Thanks,  
Mishra

I am posting Inside Natural Volume 13 Number 2 on my Inside Natural thread. It should answer most of your questions regarding MU’s and PE’s, including Report Mode.
