Description

Currently only one report format option ("Title | Arrivals") displays in the serial-16 Service.  Are there any other report formats -- and, if not, could we add them? 

Resolution

In the   ./form_eng/number-of-issues.xsl  we see this in SECTION-02:

          <xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Title'"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="value" select="./title"/>
...
...
          <xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Arrivals'"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="value" select="./arrivals"/>

And the following in the b_serial_16_b program:

            MOVE "TITLE" TO BUF-FORM-XML-HEADER.
            MOVE REC-IN-TITLE TO BUF-FORM-XML-DATA.
            CALL "form_fill_xml_data" USING
...
...
            MOVE "ARRIVALS" TO BUF-FORM-XML-HEADER.
            MOVE REC-IN-NO-ARIVALS TO BUF-FORM-XML-DATA.
            CALL "form_fill_xml_data" USING

Thus, unlike certain other forms where a Znn table is read and where any column from that table can be included on the form and in  the report, the number-of-issues form is relying on form_fill_xml_data to supply values, and the inclusion of other columns would require changes to the b_serial_16_b program.
