FOOTER The FOOTER command describes the structure and content of the footer
line or lines that may appear at the bottom of a page. You can have as
many as ten footers on a page (or as few as none, which is the default), and
you can define different footers for odd-numbered pages, even-numbered
pages, and the first page of a document.

int
specifies which footer line, 1 through 10, is being defined. If you omit
int
, TFORM assumes you are defining the topmost footer line (footer
line 1). Footer line 2 appears below footer line 1; footer line 10 is closest
to the bottom of the page.
title
is a one-, two-, or three-field entity, depending on how you enter it. Its
syntax appears as
" [
text
] [ | [
text
] [ | [
text
] ] ] "
TFORM recognizes the vertical bars (|) as the field delimiters,
which divide the title into left, center, and right fields. TFORM left-
justifies any field to the left of the first delimiter (or if you omit both
delimiters), centers any field positioned between the vertical bars,
and right-justifies any field to the right of the second delimiter.
Fields may be empty or space-filled, and you can use any
combination of the one, two, or three fields. Enclose a
title
in
quotation marks.
