Summary titles (REPORT command)

  • You can specify a summary title enclosed in quotes, following the conventions for strings.
  • The summary title must be specified after the first function and its arguments. It cannot separate any function from its arguments.
  • A summary title can be only one line long.
  • A summary title wider than the break column extends into the next break column to the right. If the title is wider than all of the available break columns, it is truncated.
  • Only one summary title can be specified per summary line. If more than one is specified, the last is used.
  • The summary title is left- or right-justified depending upon whether the break title is left- or right-justified.
  • The default location for the summary title is the column of the BREAK variable to which the summary applies. With multiple breaks, you can override the default placement of the title by specifying, in parentheses following the title, the number of the break column in which you want the summary title to be displayed.
  • In a report with no break levels, REPORT displays the summary title above the summary line at the left margin.
