ID-SUPP Modifier

ID-SUPP or I is an output modifier that suppresses the display of item-IDs in a report. Without this keyword, item-IDs automatically appear as the first column in a report in addition to the attributes explicitly specified in the INFO/ACCESS query.

When used with the T-DUMP, S-DUMP, or T-LOAD commands, ID-SUPP suppresses the listing of item-IDs copied to or retrieved from backup medium.

Example

Either of these statements suppress the printing of the item-ID:

>SORT BOOK-CATALOG BY TITLE TITLE PRICE ID-SUPP

 

>SORT BOOK-CATALOG BY TITLE TITLE PRICE (I)
