USERS GUIDE TO THE REPORT GENERATOR FOR THE NAVY RESOURCE MODEL

The Report Generator is a highly generalized information-extracting and report-formatting computer routine. Through a sophisticated command language and system of dictionaries, it can report out information in countless formats and degrees of detail. The description of the Report Generator in this users' guide is for the dictionaries and data files used in the Navy Resource Model (NARM), at CNA. However, it is possible for the reader to apply the Report Generator to his own management information system by creating his own dictionaries for his own data tapes. How to create dictionaries is described in this guide.
