Formatting a Report

By default, an INFO/ACCESS report includes the following heading:

PAGE n

time

date

Reports generally also include an end-of-list message in the following format:

n ITEMS LISTED

n is the number of items listed in the report. INFO/ACCESS queries may, however, contain specifications for more complex headings, footings, and other formatting parameters. For example, the following query includes a heading on each page of the report that reads "INDIANA CUSTOMERS":

>SORT CUSTOMERS WITH STATE = "IN" BY LAST-NAME LAST-NAME STREET CITY STATE ID-SUPP HEADING "INDIANA CUSTOMERS"
