Integer-1 and integer-2 are positive integers. Integer-1 must be within the
range specified by the PAGE LIlVIITS clause in the report description entry.
The LINE NUMBER clause must be given for each report line of a report
group. For the first line of a report group it is given at the report group
level; it may also be given before or at the first elementary item in the
line. For report lines other than the first in a report group, it must be
given before or at the first elementary item in the line.
If the LINE NUMBER clause is specified at the report group level, entries
for the first report line within the report group are presented on the speci-
fied line number.
If
LINE NUMBER is specified for an entry at a subordinate
level, all succeeding printable items are presented on that print line, until
another LINE NUMBER clause is declared or the report group ends. Print-
able items are those elementary items which have descriptions containing
the COLUMN NUMBER clause. A line number for the first subordinate level
may not contradict the line number of its group level.
Integer-1 indicates an absolute line number. The line counter is set to this
value in this and following entries within the report group until a different
value for LINE NUMBER is specified.
PLUS integer-2 indicates a relative line number which increments the line
counter in this and following entries within the report group until a different
value for LINE NUMBER is specified.
Within a report group, absolute LINE NUMBER entries must be indicated in
ascending order, and an absolute LINE NUMBER cannot be preceded by a
relative LINE NUMBER.
