Hi Everyone.

I have managed to fiddle with my settings at some point and have now thoroughly annoyed myself.

1.) When I look at the code the report GUI has made, every thing is now in the form:

table.table.column_name

i.e.

TABLE FILE DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS
SUM
CNT.DST.DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.SSR_STU_ID_NUMBER AS ''
BY LOWEST DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.SSR_SES_CODE
BY LOWEST DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.SSR_PRO_CODE
BY LOWEST DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.CSEC_CRS_CODE
BY LOWEST DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.DDEF_STUDENT_COURSE_REGISTRATIONS.CSEC_SECTION_NUMBER
WHERE SSR_PRO_CODE EQ 'TRANSITIONS';
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END


The table names I work with can very long and it offends my eyes, but I'm not sure how to just go back to:

column_name

In my reports.

2.) When I hit the window button, I know longer see the report names instead, I see "*"

i.e. when you hit, I want to see:
Window
Tile
Cascade
Options
Report_name_1
etc

instead I see

Window
Tile
Cascade
Options
**
*
**
etc

Any suggestions on how to get back to the default settings? Thanks.

The option might be Dev Studio > Window > Options... > Reporting > Authoring Mode. Change Qualified fieldname to Unqualified fieldname.

Amen
so that means, you'll get
SUM
CNT.DST.SSR_STU_ID_NUMBER AS ''
BY LOWEST SSR_SES_CODE
BY LOWEST SSR_PRO_CODE
BY LOWEST CSEC_CRS_CODE
BY LOWEST CSEC_SECTION_NUMBER
which you could just type in that way yourself ... and avoid all eye pain
Francis's way makes it permanent

I agree. The singular advantage of fully-qualified fieldnames happens when the same fieldname is used in separate databases that are being JOINed and one needs to reference a particular instance. Otherwise they are mostly a pain in the [your expression here].
