A collection of expressions for a report template.

Contained by a query.

A report stores results of a query in a text file. You control the format of the report by defining a template using expressions. Each expression defines a column of the report, and can include dot variables that represent object properties, object data cariables that represent nongraphic information stored with the object int he drawing file, and SQL variables that represent the connection between objects and external database tables. When you execute the query with a report tempate, the information specified by the expressions is written to the report. For example, a report template with three expressions creates three columns, separated by commas, of information about queried objects.

To specify what information you want in the report, create a template. When the query with a report template executes, the output report is sent to a file.
