 MRIS Reporting Program 



3.7 Overriding Default Report Order 



Most of the stream listing reports (population estimate, fish species, etc) are in EPA 

 River Reach Number as the default report order. This report order has been chosen as the 

 most efficient way for the system to operate. If you want your report in alphabetical order, 

 choose this option to receive a listing of other report orders. After making a selection from 

 this menu, you will receive a message that this is not the . Keep in mind, that the report 

 will probably run a little slower due to changing the report order. 



4 EXITING THE SYSTEM 



When you have finished with your session for the day, exit the program by returning 

 to the Main Menu (Figure 1) and highlighting Exit the Program. If, while you were 

 working, you saved either report control files or record number files, a screen will appear 

 similar to the one shown in Figure 24. This gives you the opportunity to save a report 

 control file or record number file, or to remove them if you no longer want them in the 

 system. Tlie flies you select will be deleted, not saved. By pressing Enter a check mark 

 appears next to the file, marking it for deletion; by pressing Ctrl-Enter your selections will 

 be accepted. Once you exit the program, you will be returned to the DOS prompt in the 

 MRIS directory.

 above examples. A general rule to follow: 'AND' statements are set up between queries,
