Description

Enter up to 40 alphanumeric characters for the text to print as a header line on the report; for example, Income Statement.

You can use header-level keywords in the description that print specific information in the header when the report prints.  Available header keywords are:

• *DATE - Prints current date

• *TIME - Prints current time

• *MTHP - Prints the month/ending date period from the report parameters screen

• *LOC# - Prints the location from the report parameters screen

Space After

Enter the number of lines to advance after printing this sequence.  Valid entries are 0, 1, 2, or 3.  To advance more than 3 lines, enter a blank header record with the appropriate number of lines.  If you want consecutive sequences to print on the same line on the report, leave this field blank or enter 0 until you get to the last sequence for that report line.

The program allows a maximum of 5 header lines per report.

Starting Print Position

Enter a number to represent where this sequence should start to print on the report.  Reports are 132 column - 14 7/8" wide by default, but you can change the setting to 198 to print in landscape in control record IG120T.  To center a header, start at position 66 or 99 (132 or 198 columns divided by 2) and subtract one position for every 2 characters (including spaces) in the header text.

Example:  If you want to center the header Income Statement for a 132-column report, enter a starting position of 58.  This is calculated by starting at the center position of 66 and subtracting 8 positions/spaces because there are 16 characters in Income Statement.
