TITLE Statement

This statement, identified by the statement type TITLE, is optional. It provides a mechanism by which you may override the predefined default titles of output data elements available for display. Each TITLE statement overrides one specific element title. Multiple statements may be used as required.

The data element ID field specifies which entry in the Output Data Elements Table is to have its title changed.

The top line title field is a twenty (20) character field available to you to override the top line of data element titles. The bottom line title field is used to override the bottom line of titles. User-defined titles may not exceed the output length of the corresponding data element as defined in the table.

TITLE statements with a set code in statement position 1 apply to that report only. TITLE statements can be made to override the standard titles for all reports that use the affected data elements by leaving statement position one blank.
