Reporting Facility Commands › USER Command

USER Command

(Area 1)

The USER command generates a report identification line as the first heading line for each page of each report. The command is required and must appear as the very first command or must immediately follow the first OPTION command.

The format of the USER command is as follows:

►►─ USER ─┬────────────┬─ 'alphanumeric literal' ─────────────────────────────►
          └─ password ─┘

   ┌──────────────────────────────┐
 ►─▼─┬──────────────────────────┬─┴───────────────────────────────────────────►◄
     └─ 'alphanumeric literal' ─┘

password

Is a 1- through 8-character password which must match the one selected at product modification time, identifying authority to delete call library members.

'alphanumeric literal'

Is a character string, enclosed in apostrophes, that is to appear on every page of each report generated by the Reporting Facility. You can specify multiple literals, such as 'CAI', 'REPORT', or 'CAI REPORT'.

Note the following:

• You can specify only one USER command for each processing run.
• The USER command must contain one or more alphanumeric literals. The system strings these literals together and the resultant literal prints on each page of each report.
• The user ID literal will be centered within the printer width currently in force. Subsequent resetting of the printer REPORT command width will only take effect at the time the REPORT command is processed.
• Since each literal must be contained on one source record, the system limits the length of the literal to 70 characters. The system limits the total length of the stringed literal to the width of the print line.

Example

The command:

USER 'XYZ COMPANY, INC.'

Is equal to:

USER  'XYZ'  'COMPANY,'  'INC.'
