   Description | (Optional) Enter a description of the report, up to 240 characters long. The description is displayed in the Administration Console when you view the report definition.
   Param 2 ... Param 8 | (Optional) Enter the prompts to be displayed to a user when running the `RUR` command in interactive mode. Use up to 15 characters for each parameter. If you define a parameter, and the user chooses not to supply a value, the parameter is passed as an empty string. You can specify up to seven parameters. Leave all unused parameters empty and make sure that they follow after the defined parameters. For example, to specify four parameters, enter values for parameters 2–5 and leave parameters 6–8 empty. Note: Parameter 1 is reserved by Dimensions CM and specifies the product ID or range of products for the report.
