Select Utilities > Standard Reporting > Reports > Run. You will see a File Browser, showing the contents of the directory REPORTS. Select the TEMPLATES sub-directory.

Select the report template pipe_mto.tmp and select Open. You will see the Report Details form, with the following options:

•

Filename

If you specify a filename, the report will be sent to the given file in your working directory. If you leave the text box empty, the report will be sent to the screen.
