Simple Page Headings

The Parameter fill‑in defines a simple page heading. A simple page heading is defined as one that:

• Is 42 characters or less in length.
• Occupies a single line.
• Is positioned on the right, left, or center of the line.
• Is a literal string.

The Parameter fill‑in prompts for the literal and the position where it prints. It is the last item on the Parameter fill‑in.

Assume that a report containing a list of customers is to print. You can define a simple page heading as the following:

=>
 ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑          ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ Partially shown
 IDEAL   : RPT PARAMETERS        RPT CUSTRPT  (001) TEST          SYS: DOC  DISP

 Page Heading  
   Heading            Customer List_____________________________ 
   Position           C    (C=Center, L=Left Justify, R=Right Justify)

The position was specified as C, meaning RDF centers the text on the line at the top of every page.
