SUBFOOTING Statement
SUBFOOTING Statement
The SUBFOOTING statement allows you to specify a subfooting to be printed at the
bottom of each report page for all reports in the current session unless overridden or
reset by another SUBFOOTING statement or temporarily overridden by a SUBFOOTING
clause. See the SUBFOOTING Clause
on page 5-59. The syntax of the SUBFOOTING
statement is:
print-list
can be 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, and
parameter names.
The clauses that can be used in a print-list are described in Section 5, Clauses
. The
other elements are described in Section 3, Enform Plus Language Elements.
Specifying Field Names Within a SUBFOOTING Statement
If you specify a field name within a print-list of a SUBFOOTING statement, the field
value printed is the same value as in the last row of data on the current page. A field
appearing within the SUBFOOTING statement need not be explicitly included within the
following LIST statements. If a SUBFOOTING statement field is not included, Enform
Plus effectively adds it to the LIST statement with a NOPRINT clause.
Spacing Considerations
By default, the subfooting begins in the same column position as the leftmost report
column. Using either SPACE or TAB clauses as the first element of the print-list
overrides this default. The SPACE or TAB clauses can also appear anywhere within the
print-list. In the following example, the SPACE clause causes the two literals to be
separated by 15 spaces:
SUBFOOTING "Inventory" SPACE 15 "Parts in Stock";
The following subfooting will appear at the bottom of the next report that is generated
without a LIST statement SUBFOOTING clause:
Inventory Parts in Stock
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 SUBFOOTING 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
SUBFOOTING [ print-list [ CENTER ] ] [ ; ]
