Defining a Page Header

If you defined a detail procedure for a report, you can mark lines in the upper level report formats as a page header. The report prints the page header at the top of each page below the report header, if any.

To define a page header

  1. On the Report Format form, define the text and fields that you want to include in the page header. For instructions, see Painting Fields on a Report.
  2. In a Report Format window, use the Mark and Bound keys to select the text you want to print as a header on each page. You can select text in an upper level format only.
  3. Press Define (F6) and choose Headers.
  4. Choose Define Page Header.
  5. To view the defined page header, press Define (F6), choose Headers, then choose Display Page Header.

    The page header is shaded.
