This statement has the following format:

BANNER Y|N|D

Y

Prints the cover page.

N

D

Uses the default cover sheet output as determined by the setting of the selected output device.

Notes:

• Use the BANNER statement before the first ABAPNAME statement to set the default value for subsequent steps.
• Use the BANNER statement within the boundaries of the step definition (between two ABAPNAME statements or between an ABAPNAME statement and the end of the job definition) to define the value for that step.
