TITLE Statement

Position	Field Length	Field Name	Notes
1	1	Set Code	Optional
2-9	8	Statement Type	TITLE
10-11 12-31 32-51	2 20 20	Data Element ID Top Line Title Bottom Line Title	Refer to Output Data Elements Table
52-80	29	Reserved	Not used

This statement, identified by the statement type TITLE, is optional. The TITLE statement provides a mechanism by which the user can override predefined default titles of output data elements available for display. Each title has a Data Element Identification (DE ID) code associated with it. The DE ID determines which field in the table is to be changed.

The Top Line Title is a 20-character field available to the user to override the top line of data element titles. The Bottom Line Title field is used to override the bottom line of titles. The user-defined titles may not exceed the output length of the corresponding data element as defined in the table.

Each TITLE statement overrides one specific set of output data element titles. Multiple statements can be used as required. The following example illustrates a typical TITLE statement setup:

TITLE   08DEPT./PROJECT       IDENTIFICATION

This TITLE statement would override the existing 16 character title for data element 08, Accounting Information, as follows:

   Before                  After

ACCOUNT ACCOUNT       DEPT./PROJECT
FIELD1  FIELD2        IDENTIFICATION

If position 1 of the TITLE statement is blank, all reports are produced with the user-specified title. If position 1 contains a report set code, only the report corresponding to that set code uses the user-specified title.
