Page and Form Definition Options

If your page and form definitions are affecting the SYSOUT data in your reports, you can do the following actions:

• Suppress the output of banner pages by entering an asterisk in the BANNER field on the Report Definition Attributes panel.
• Define your own in-stream AFP (Authorized Program Facility) commands embedded in X'5A' (Hex Five Able) records in the banner pages.
• Use RMOPSF, a stand-alone utility to modify members in which PAGEDEF and FORMDEF resources are defined or to create new members in which changes that accommodate banner pages are defined.

The last choice is the more viable because, in most cases, you must print banner pages with your report and defining your own in-stream AFP commands in X'5A' records requires extra effort.
