Printing Standard Serialized Reports

The Exceptions 3-30 Report prints new exceptions one time and prints all calls within the number of days specified. The days specified must be equal to or greater than the number of calls specified for the report. The New Exceptions field is set to Y for any call in that number of days not already flagged in the Z-A-SUPP file. The user-specified number of days, number of calls and whether to update the Z-A-SUPP file prints in the report heading. The report processes more quickly because it uses Z-numbers as an index.
