 MRIS Reporting Program 



For example, if you wanted to find all the streams in the Missouri River drainage 

 (Hydrologic Units 10020001-10050001) that had an instream flow reservation on it, you 

 would first select the hydrologic units from the Location menu under Select a Category. 

 From the Ad Hoc Query option, you would then select the Minimum Flow Data and press 

 Enter. In the screen shown in Figure 42, type in H20RESERV='R'(the field in 

 MINFLOW.DBF that identifies the type of reservation on a stream reach (Appendix D)) and 

 press Enter, To verify the search you have created, return to the Main Menu and use the 

 Verify the Search Criteria and Report Format option. You are then ready to choose the 

 report format and produce the report. 



The Ad Hoc Query option will become more user friendly with the next version of the 

 Reporting Program. 



6 RECREATION SEARCH OPTIONS 



6.1 Step 1: Set up a Search - Stream Name 



Setting up a query by stream name, as in Section 2. 1, can be executed using the MRIS 

 reporting program with the purpose of reporting data only from the recreation database. 

 From the Main Menu (Figure 1) Select Step 1: Set up the Search. Be sure to clear all 

 previous search selections before proceeding. From the Select a Category menu (Figure 2), 

 select Stream Name. Recall from Section 2, 1 that you have 3 ways to choose a stream. 

 For this example, do the following: the highlight bar will be on Select Stream by Name, 

 press Enter. (If you don Y have the entire master stream database, choose a stream or river 

 from your region). To find the Swan River, activate the search utility by pressing Alt-S and 

 type in Swan R. Press Enter to turn off the search utility and then select several reaches 

 of the Swan River by pressing Enter. Press Ctrl-Enter and return to the Main Menu. 



From the Main Menu, select Step 2: Select a Report Format. For the example, we 

 will use the Recreation Data Report; move to that option and press Enter. By choosing 

 Recreation Data Report, the fisheries data is excluded from the report (Figure 43). Like 

 the fiill stream report, another menu will follow with the opportunity to select some or all 

 of the recreation report sections. You can press either Ctrl-Enter or the Escape key (Esc) 

 and all of the recreation report sections will automatically be selected, or you can deselect 

 report sections by pressing Enter for each report section you wish to exclude.
