FDREPORT TITLE Statement

TITLE statement

The TITLE statement defines a user-specified title line to be displayed on every page of the report between the BMC header identification and the data header lines. Under TSO, the BMC header is not displayed. A maximum of one line may be specified.

TITLE statement syntax

ECHO

NOECHO

Specifies whether the title line is to be displayed or not on the print output. Each valid field name being processed is also displayed, as well as its location in the title line when ECHO is specified.

Default: NOECHO.

LINE=

'text'

Specifies the text to be printed or displayed. Must be enclosed in quotes. The number of characters specified must not exceed the page width. If the title cannot be contained on one control statement (column 1 to 71), the user can continue the text by specifying a “+” or “–” after the last character on this line.

If “+” is specified, FDREPORT scans for the first non-blank character on the next input line, so you can start the continuation in any column. If “–” is specified FDREPORT starts with column 1 of the next input line. Example,

TITLE LINE='BACKUP +

REPORT'

The title text may contain FDREPORT fields, so that the title on each may contain data that related to the values displayed on that page. Any FDREPORT field name that is valid for SORT (see FDREPORT-Field-Names) may be included. You surround the field names with the FIELDPREFIX and FIELDSUFFIX characters that are in effect at the time that the TITLE statement is read (set by a previous DEFAULT or PUNCH statement; they default to < and >). FDREPORT substitutes the value for that field that is current at the time each new page is printed. For example,

TITLE LINE='REPORT FOR VOLUME <VOL>'

SKIP=

n

Specifies the number of lines to be left blank between the title line and the data heading line, from 1 to 3.

Default: 1.
