Vensim Help

The custom report definition has only a few keywords.  Normally the bulk of reports is simply typed in text, and it is placed in the output as it is typed in.  Custom reports must start with the :REPORT keyword and end with the :END-OF-REPORT keyword.

NOTE A complete Custom Report definition requires a :REPORT line and an :END-OF-REPORT line.

:REPORT name begins the definition of a custom report.

:FONT fontname specifies the font to be used in the report.  The font name follows the standard Vensim convention.  You can insert the name of a font using the Edit>Insert>Font command in the Text Editor.  You can only have one font per report.  If you have more than one :FONT line only the last one will be used.

:NEWPAGE will cause a page break to be inserted in the report when it is printed.  There will be a blank line in the output showing on the screen.  Nothing following the :NEWPAGE keyword  on a line will appear or be used.

:TITLE specifies the title for the report.

:VAR varname #timebase@time&dataset%format?val=label?val=label...|Label specifies the name of a variable to report a value for in the report.  The options following the name follow the conventions described in "Getting Variable Values" above. The label is the text that will appear in the report before the numbers, the variable name is used if no label is included.

:END-OF-REPORT marks the end of the report.
