Description

Code

All Codes are created in the ETL Center. If you select the Code option, you must also select the Code to associate with the Code Option. When an Advanced Report with a Code Option runs, you must select one or more Code Values for the Option. Note that the available code values are those stored under the Eagle PACE interface. For example, an Advanced Report that retrieves trade data can include a Code Option that specifies a transaction type to include in the report. You select the transaction type value in the Advanced Report Profile and then submit the report.

Date

This option type requires a date to be entered at runtime.

Number

This option type requires a numeric value at runtime.

String

This option type requires a text string at runtime. If you create an option type of Text, you must enter the maximum number of characters the Option value can contain in the Size field.

A text option may be implemented, for example, to allow the user to change the title or footnote of a report at runtime.
