Use TAG and LOCATE

For large reports, it may be necessary to create placeholders for sections of the report that do not appear in the Report Tree panel.

Use the TAG primary command to define a tag or label for any location in your report. You are prompted for a tag name, as shown in the following screen:

Type a name for your tag, from 1 to 32 characters and press Enter to create your tag. Leading periods are ignored.

Alternatively, you can create a tag using the .label method by entering your tag name on the command line with a leading period. For example, to create a tag named EF for a variable named ERROR-FLAG, position your display to that variable and type .EF on the command line. Press Enter to create the tag.

Note: If you create a tag with a duplicate name, the new tag replaces the previously existing tag.

After you create your tag, you can position your display immediately to that line using the LOCATE command or L as an abbreviation. In the example above, type L EF to locate the variable ERROR-FLAG. If you enter a LOCATE command without any tag name, you are prompted for a tag name as shown in the following screen:

Tags are not stored in the user profile, so all tags are cleared when you exit a report viewing session.
