SUBTITLE Clause

Specifying a Field Name in
a SUBTITLE Clause

Spacing Considerations

The SUBTITLE clause allows you to specify printing of information at the top of each
page immediately following the title for the current report. This clause is an optional
part of the LIST statement. See also the TITLE clause in this section and the SUBTITLE
statement in Section 4. The syntax of the SUBTITLE clause is:
SUBTITLE print-list [ CENTER ]
print-list
contains any combination of literals, FORM, SKIP, SPACE, or TAB clauses. A
print-list can also 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 part of a print-list are described in this section. The other
elements are described in Section 3.
If you specify a field name within a print-list of a SUBTITLE clause, ENFORM prints
the same field value as in the first row of the report. A field name appearing within
the SUBTITLE clause need not be explicitly included within the associated LIST
statement. If the field name is not included, ENFORM in effect adds it with a
NOPRINT clause.
By default the subtitle begins in the same position as the leftmost report column.
Using SPACE or TAB clauses as the first element of the print-list overrides this default.
SPACE or TAB clauses can also appear anywhere within the print-list. In the following
example, the SPACE clause causes the two literal to be separated by 15 spaces:
SUBTITLE "Inventory" SPACE 15 "Parts in Stock",
Inventory
If you specify either a SKIP clause or the slash symbol (/) within a print-list, ENFORM
advances one or more lines before printing the rest of the SUBTITLE 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 causes two lines to be
printed:
SUBTITLE "Report 2-A" SKIP "Total Sales",
Report 2-A
Total Sales
