Tailoring Model Banner Pages

Because page-oriented DJDE commands are only effective at the next page boundary, you may need to insert a skip-to-channel-1 carriage control on the next model banner page line after the DJDE statements.

You need not insert a skip-to-channel-1 carriage control when the DJDE statements are specified as the last lines in a model banner page, because the report that follows always begins on a new page boundary.

• When you define a model banner page to be used for reports, you code the DJDE statements as either constant lines of data to be used for all reports or as variable lines of data that can be changed in each report definition.
• To specify constant DJDE data in a model banner page, code the DJDE statements as one or more lines in the model banner page.
• To specify variable DJDE data in a model banner page, code one or more lines in the model banner page as instruction lines using an &INSTn symbolic variable.
• When you define a report that is to use the model banner page, you specify the DJDE statements for the report as special instructions on the Report Definition Attributes panel.
