The SUBFOOTING statement allows you to specify a subfooting to be printed at the
bottom of each report page for all reports in the current session unless overridden or
reset by another SUBFOOTING statement or temporarily overridden by a
SUBFOOTING clause. See the SUBFOOTING clause in Section 5. The syntax of the
SUBFOOTING statement is:
SUBFOOTING [ print-list [ CENTER ] ] [ ; ]
print-list
can be any combination of literals, FORM, SKIP, SPACE or TAB clauses. A
print-list can contain the following elements that can be modified by AS, AS DATE
or AS TIME clauses: field names, arithmetic expressions, IF/THEN/ELSE
expressions, System Variable clauses, JULIAN-DATE clauses, TIMESTAMP-DATE
clauses, TIMESTAMP-TIME clauses, user variables, or parameter names.
The clauses that can be used in a print-list are discussed in Section 5. The other
elements are discussed in Section 3.
If you specify a field name within a print-list of a SUBFOOTING statement, the field
value printed is the same value as in the last row of data on the current page. A field
appearing within the SUBFOOTING statement need not be explicitly included within
the following LIST statements. If a SUBFOOTING statement field is not included,
ENFORM effectively adds it to the LIST statement with a NOPRINT clause.
By default, the subfooting begins in the same column position as the leftmost report
column. Using either SPACE or TAB clauses as the first element of the print-list
overrides this default. The SPACE or TAB clauses can also appear anywhere within
the print-list. In the following example, the SPACE clause causes the two literals to be
separated by 15 spaces:
SUBFOOTING "Inventory" SPACE 15 "Parts in Stock";
The following subfooting will appear at the bottom of the next report that is generated
without a LIST statement SUBFOOTING clause.
Inventory
If you specify either a SKIP clause or the symbol / (slash) within a print-list, the printer
advances one or more lines before printing the rest of the SUBFOOTING print-list. The
number of lines advanced can be affected by one or more of the following: the digit (if
any) following the keyword SKIP, the number of slashes specified, or the option
variable @VSPACE. In the following example, the SKIP clause of the SUBFOOTING
statement causes the subfooting to print on two lines:
SUBFOOTING "Report 2-A" SKIP "Total Sales";
The following subfooting will appear at the bottom of the next report that is generated
without a LIST statement SUBFOOTING clause.
Report 2-A
Total Sales
