Use the Default Report Heading

If you do not set the value of RTITLE1, the default value is used. This is the default value of RTITLE1:

'1&RTITLE1C    -predefined-space-    date time Page &RPAGE#'

Operand

Explanation

1

This is the ASA printer control character that tells the printer to start a new page before printing the heading.

RTITLE1C

This is a predefined variable which initially has no value assigned to it. You can use a set statement to assign a value to this variable. You cannot include other variable names in the value of this variable. If the value that you assign to RTITLE1C is more than 40 characters long, you must define RTITLE1 with your own SET statement.

predefined-space

A predefined space of 40 characters will always be printed between the value of RTITLEC and the date.

date

This is the date on which Batch started processing.

time

This is the time at which Batch started processing. The time that appears in the default heading is constant throughout the report.

Page &RPAGE#

The word "Page" followed by the current page number of the report.

The SET statement for RTITLE1 in the example (see Putting Headings in Your Report) could be replaced with the following SET statement:

SET RTITLE1C '1 TIMEOUT OPTIONS REPORT'
