archive search. The selected files are read sequentially, which may take
considerably more time.
If you do not want to read data from the archive, change the settings on
the data source dialog box (Extras -> Data Source....).

Procedure for System Administrators

To read data from the archive with the help of an index, activate an
infostructure for field catalog .
If you do not want to read data from the archive, make sure that the
Customizing table ASDATASRC1 does not contain an entry with the name of
the current report and the activated indicator USE_INFSYS.
