NOPRINT Clause

Suppress Single
Report Items

Suppress All Report Items

The NOPRINT clause allows you to specify suppression of the printing of a target-item
or by-item and its associated column heading. The syntax of the NOPRINT clause is:
target-item
{ }
by-item
NOPRINT ALL
target-item
is a record name, a field name, a numeric literal, a predefined aggregate, a user
aggregate, an arithmetic expression, an IF/THEN/ELSE expression, a user table
name, a user variable, a System Variable clause or a JULIAN-DATE clause.
by-item
is the name of a field grouped by a BY or BY DESC clause.
The NOPRINT clause following a LIST target-item or by-item suppresses the printing of
the target-item or by-item and its heading. The target-item or by-item can still be used for
sorting, grouping, or calculations elsewhere in the report.
You can use the NOPRINT clause to suppress printing of a target-item or by-item within
the body of a report. In the following example, the records are grouped by region, but
the region number is not printed as a by-item in the report. Instead the region number
is printed at the end of the group using a BEFORE CHANGE clause:
LIST BY regnum NOPRINT,
branchnum,
manager,
BEFORE CHANGE ON regnum PRINT "Region " regnum;
BRANCHNUM
---------
Region 1
The NOPRINT ALL clause suppresses the printing of all column and column
headings. It must follow the WHERE clause in the LIST statement. Refer to the syntax
of the LIST statement in Section 4 for the relative locations of the clauses within a LIST
statement.
Title and summary information, using AT END, AT START, FOOTING,
SUBFOOTING, SUBTITLE, TITLE statements and clauses, and AFTER CHANGE and
BEFORE CHANGE clauses still appear in the report. This is useful for reports where
only summary information is desired.
