Introduction Reporter Commands Index

TITLE

Syntax: TITLE report-title
Placement: Place the TITLE of the report before the REPORT command.
Discussion: The TITLE command specifies a printed title for the report.

Titles are centered on the report, exactly as you type them (caps or upper and lower case), and appear at the top of each page. You can enter a maximum of 10 titles lines of up to 132 characters each.

To print a title on multiple lines, type the TITLE command at the beginning of each line. To add a blank line within the title, type the TITLE command alone where you want to locate the blank line.

Line continuation

You may continue a TITLE by ending a line with either an "_" or ";" character. Continue the title in the first position of the next line. If you indent the continuation lines, there will be blank spaces in your title.

Example:
  100   INPUT CUSTOMER
  200   TITLE PAST DUE ACCOUNTS
  210   TITLE
  220   TITLE CALIFORNIA CUSTOMERS
  300   DEFINE PAST.DUE = AR.OVER.60 + AR.OVER.90;8.2
  400   SELECTING IF PAST.DUE GT 0 AND STATE EQ "CA"
  500   SORT ON STATE;CUST.NAME
  600   REPORT
  700   USING CUST.TO.HIST
  800   PRINT CUST.NAME;CUST.NUMBER;STATE;PREVIOUS.YTD;PAST.DUE
  900   BREAK ON STATE
  1000  TOTAL PAST.DUE;PREVIOUS.YTD
  1100  END
