TITLE Statement

Use the TITLE statement to specify any titles or subtitles you want printed or punched with your data set. Two TITLE statements can be included for each use of IEBPTPCH. A first TITLE statement defines the title, and a second defines the subtitle. The TITLE statement, if included, follows the PRINT or PUNCH statement in the control data set.

If you are printing a data set, the titles you specify will be printed on every page.

The syntax of the TITLE statement is:

Label	Statement	Parameters
[label]	TITLE	ITEM=('title'[, output-location])[,ITEM=...]

where:

ITEM=('title'[,output-location])

specifies title or subtitle information. The values that can be coded are:

'title': specifies the title or subtitle literal (maximum length of 40 bytes), enclosed in apostrophes. If the literal contains apostrophes, each apostrophe must be written as two consecutive apostrophes. The literal coded for 'title' is not affected by the TOTCONV parameter of the PRINT or PUNCH statements. You can specify a double-byte character set string as your title. To do so, enclose the DBCS string in shift-out/shift-in characters (< and >).
You can also specify the title in hexadecimal. To do so, code the title as title . This is especially useful if you do not have a keyboard that has all the characters you need. The shift-out/shift-in characters are X'0E' and X'0F', respectively.
output-location: specifies the starting position at which the literal for this item is placed in the output record. When used with output-location, the specified title's length plus output-location may not exceed the output logical record length minus one.
Default: The first position (byte) is assumed.

You can specify ITEM more than once on a TITLE statement. In this way, you can have titles longer than 40 characters, or you can format your title according to your needs.
