# Appendix E -- Modifying Specifications
## BCHPGM Screen
The specifications you enter on the BCHPGM screen (first screen in the batch report program development process) (cont.)
control how the report fields are generated. These report fields are displayed to you in a graphical format on the (cont.)
RPTDEF screen. RPTDEF is the "report painter" screen.
If you wish to alter some of these specifications after you have generated the report, you might need to delete the (cont.)
report detail fields from RPTDEF in order to re-generate them. This is true for those specifications which affect the (cont.)
layout of a report (spacing between fields, centering, etc.). To delete the report detail field definitions you should (cont.)
use the RPTDEL function, as:
RPTDEL nnnB
This is similar to RPTDEF, in that it shows you a graphic image of your report layout It does this, however, so you can confirm that you indeed wish to delete this report.
**Note:** By deleting these report detail field definitions you will also be deleting any modifications you have made (cont.)
to them via the RPTDEF facility. When you re-generate them they will have their original, default (cont.)
specifications.
Once you are shown the report layout, you will have three options available to you.
abort this process by pressing the CLEAR key
delete the detail field definitions by pressing ENTER
delete everything, including the BCHPGM header information and field selections by pressing PF5.
If you press ENTER, only the report field definitions will be deleted, the header information and field selections will (cont.)
be retained. You could then return to the BCHPGM screen, alter some of the specifications, and re-generate the report (cont.)
using the changed specs. You could also alter the field selections, if you desired.
After you have deleted the detail field definitions the BCHPGM screen will automatically transfer you to the field (cont.)
selections screen(s). The selections you had made before will still be "remembered" so that you need not re-do them. (cont.)
You can alter the selections using all the standard PF key operations that you had available to you when you originally (cont.)
made your selections.
If your report included logical joins you will next be taken to the logical join coding screen. If you wish to re-do (cont.)
the join logic you can enter it here just as you did originally. If your original logical join coding does not need any (cont.)
changes, you can press PF10 on this screen to bypass the logical join process and proceed directly to the report (cont.)
painter screen, RPTDEF. If you press PF10 no modifications will be done to the logical join coding (stored as %JOIN (cont.)
customization) for your application. Any changes you might have made to it previously will be retained. If you press (cont.)
ENTER, rather than PF10, the coding on the screen (plus any lines of code you type in) will be stored as %JOIN (cont.)
customization* replacing* what was already on file.
