on the page with three blank lines before and two lines after.
Description
To delete a value from the PAGE-HEADER or TITLE keyword, specify the keyword with no value. To reset
all values to their default, issue the FORMAT command with no keywords. If you redefine the dictionary
environment, (that is, switch scopes, open a new dictionary, etc.), you do not need to reissue the FORMAT
command if this information remains the same for the new environment.
Open Mode: Any
Scope: Any
Example
The following example sets up a page header including the current date and time at the left margin, the
string "January Month-End Report" in the middle, and ascending page numbers at the right margin. The
title, alignment, and format-variable options remain unchanged.
>FORMAT PAGE-HEADER = "^;January Month-End Report;!".

HELP
Provides a quick reference to SDMAIN commands by listing the valid commands in the current mode, the
valid subcommands for a command, the syntax of a specific command, or the definition of a macro.
Syntax
H[ELP] [command [subcommand ]] [.]
Parameters
command Name of the command or user-defined macro.
subcommand Name of the subcommand.
Description
What you see when you issue the HELP command depends upon three things:
• Whether or not the dictionary is open
• If the dictionary is open, what access mode it is open in
• If the dictionary is open, whether or not the START command has been issued
See Chapter 3 of this manual for a detailed description of the HELP command in relation to the various
open modes and the START command. You can also use the HELP command to look at definitions of user-
defined macros. The definition of the macro is printed for you so you can check the parameters needed or
see what a given macro does (COMMENT commands needed in the macro with a description could be very
helpful). You can use the SHOWMACRO command to get a list of all the currently defined macros if you do
not remember the macro name.
