TITLE Statement

The TITLE statement is optional. It serves as a mechanism for overriding predefined titles of output data elements available for display (predefined titles are delivered with the this product as JSIRTTMS). Each title has a Data Element Identification (DE ID) code associated with it. Refer to the Sequenced Output Data Elements Table. The DE ID determines which field in the table is to be changed.

The top line title is a 20-character field that overrides the top line of data element titles. The bottom line title field overrides 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 may be used as required. The following example illustrates a typical TITLE statement setup:

position   1         2         3         4         5                  8
  1........0.........0.........0.........0.........0...            ...0
   TITLE   08DEPT./PROJECT       IDENTIFICATION

This TITLE statement would override the existing 16-character title for DE ID 08, user information, as follows:

Before               After
USER                 DEPT./PROJECT
INFO                 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.
