                             RWFORMAT FILE

                          Report Writer Format

This file maintains the vertical, or format and columns, portion of a Report
Writer report. It includes information on format description, format heading,
and column detail defined in RW20.1 (Format).

If the value for a field is the default, the value used in the report column
is the default for the field as defined in the header record. If the value for
the field is a non-default value, the non-default value overrides the default
in the column.

                     of a series of alphanumeric codes that
                     describe attributes of the dictionary

Budget Number        This field indicates the budget number      GL293   GL294
                     to use in this column. Another way to       GL95.4  GL99.1
                     indicate the budget number is by            RW20.1  RW20.2
                     enclosing the budget number in
                     parentheses and attaching it to the
                     dictionary code.

                     This field is required if a dictionary
