This function has two types. One is a group node selected, the other is a file node selected

SeeChapter 2.13 Create Executable File for more details. In case of selecting a Group
Node, the function is used to make an executable file with all the files registered in the
current project.
In case of executing every executable file to be made of all files in a project, the executable
file name can be assigned as parameters. In case of the execution without parameters, you
can create the report with the first file from the project tree.
As for a file name as parameter, an absolute path including a file location in a project will be
sent. For example, in case a file rdsample.rpris created as an executable file, input as
shown below to view a file products.mrd.
r dsampl e. exe $t abl e$products. mr d
Use $ character as a delimiter either between group names or group name and file name.
And mrdfile name included in the real project file has to be used for the file name. For
example, if bill.mrdis added to group tableand file node name is changed to Receipt, then
input as shown below when executing the exe file.
r dsampl e. exe $t abl e$bi l l . mr d
1.2.1.8. Create MRP Group File

a path of mrdfile to create a report together with the mrpfile as a parameter. It is the same
as Create Executable File.
