Report window

A separate GUI window that displays report output for a 4GL application when output is directed to the screen. It contains a menu for paging through the report. The behavior of the Report window depends on the logic of the 4GL program: if the report includes a PAUSE statement, the Report window is modeless and the user retains access to the Application and Help windows; if no PAUSE statement is included, the Report window is modal, taking control of the application until the user dismisses it.
