What You Can Do

You can direct CA Culprit to obtain column headings from:

Field names supplied on REC parameters
Text added to REC parameter lines
Text added to type 5 parameter lines
Text added to type 4 parameter lines

How to Do It

You can use type 5 or type 4 parameters to create heading lines.

Method 1: Use any of the following codes on type 5 parameters:

HF, which directs CA Culprit to the associated field name:

REC EMP-NAME     1    25
0151*020 EMP-NAME     HF

or

010 EMP-NAME
0151*020 EMP-NAME     HF

              Column heading is EMP-NAME.

HR, which directs CA Culprit to heading text that is enclosed in single quotation marks on the record description (REC) line:
```
REC EMP-NAME     1    25    'EMPLOYEE'

              Column heading is EMPLOYEE.
```
HH, which directs CA Culprit to the text enclosed in single quotation marks following the HH option on the type 5 line:
```
0151*020 EMP-NAME        HH 'EMPLOYEE NAME'

              Column heading is EMPLOYEE NAME.
```

A multiple-line heading is generated by enclosing the text for each line within a separate set of quotation marks:

0151*020 EMP-NAME        HH 'EMPLOYEE' 'NAME'

or

REC EMP-NAME                'EMPLOYEE' 'NAME'
0151*020 EMP-NAME        HR

              Column heading is: EMPLOYEE
                                   NAME

Method 2: Use type 4 parameters to create the headings. The type 4 parameter, typically used for special-purpose heading lines, is coded in the following order, from left to right:

A 2-digit report number
The parameter type (4)
A numeral to identify the level of the line
A column placement indicator consisting of either an asterisk (*) followed by a 3-digit number for relative placement or a 4-digit number for specific placement
A spacing indicator, such as a blank for single spacing, a zero (0) for double spacing, or a dash (-) for triple spacing
The text of the heading enclosed in single quotation marks or a field name
