I often check daily reports to see if a disk has suddenly filled or had been gradually filling over a long period of time - you wouldn't be able to get this info if you print stuff selectively. For anyone who reads daily reports regurally it doesn't take long to get used to the usual look of a report of moderate length (<2screens?) and to notice if something is out of place. You don't have to read every single word (and if you need to come back to it all the info should be there). David.
