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 AT START 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 AT START
statement causes two lines to be printed:
AT START PRINT "Report For" SKIP "Region " regnum;
Report For
Region 2
Using the FORM clause within an AT START statement causes the remainder of the
AT START print-list to be printed on a new page and increments the page number.
Using the CENTER clause following the print-list of an AT START statement centers
the information on the page.
The CENTER, Option Variable, SKIP, SPACE, and TAB clauses are described in
Section 5.
An AT START statement prints information just before the first set of column headings
for all subsequent reports in the current session. The current AT START statement can
be reset by specifying a new AT START statement with a different print-list. Using the
AT START PRINT clause within a LIST statement temporarily overrides the AT
START statement for the report generated by the LIST statement.
You can cancel the AT START statement by:
Using the AT START statement without the print-list parameter.
Using either the DICTIONARY statement or the ?DICTIONARY command (which
clears the AT START information from the internal table).
