Using WITH=START as a Field Attribute

WITH is a Field Attribute that determines when a field should be evaluated during a report.  WITH=START makes your report evaluate a field at the beginning (START) of the report.  This can make your report run more efficiently.

If you have a user-defined field with a value that does not change throughout your report, then you can use the WITH=START Field Attribute to force your report to calculate that value only once.  Your report runs more efficiently since it only calculates the value once.

Example:

DAT=DATE10
LEN=10
VAL=@.today
WITH=START
