REPORT Command

Description:

Report logs contain transient information relating to the execution of a test.

The REPORT command allows the user to specify a message to be logged in this file. Each message will have a date, time and thread name associated with it in the report log.

A report message may consist of any number of individual values separated by commas.

Any nonprintable ASCII characters in character values are replaced with periods ("."). Integer values are written as signed values, and use only as many characters as are necessary.

Format:

 REPORT value{, value...}

Parameters:

value

The value or variable to be written to the report log. This may be a variable or quoted character string.

Examples:

 REPORT "Section 1 Completed after ", loops, &
 	 ' Iterations'
 REPORT "This is a long message ", &
 	 "that is continued on this line ", "and this line"
 REPORT "This message contains a character command " &
 	 "to represent the tilde character ~~"
 REPORT "This message contains a 'single quoted section'" &
