Cancels the report processing.

Syntax

EXIT REPORT

Usage

EXIT REPORT cancels the report processing. It must appear in the FORMAT section of the report definition. It is useful after the program (or the user) becomes aware that a problem prevents the report from producing part of its intended output.

EXIT REPORT has the following effects:

Terminates the processing of the current report.
Deletes any intermediate files or temporary tables that were created in processing the report.

You cannot use the RETURN statement as a substitute for EXIT REPORT. An error is issued if RETURN is encountered within the definition of a report.
