* See the section "Line Number Clause Notation" for a description
of the abbreviations used in column 1
** A blank entry in column 1 or column 2 indicates that the named
clause is totally absent from the report group description entry.
*** A blank entry in an applicable rules column indicates the absence
of the named rule for the given combination of LINE NUMBER and NEXT
GROUP clauses.
**** If the PAGE clause is omitted from the report description entry,
then a page footing report group can not be defined. (See the
section "The TYPE Clause" .)
The page footing presentation rules are as follows:
1. Upper limit rule.
The first line number on which the page footing report group can
be presented is the line number obtained by adding one to the
value of integer-5 of the FOOTING phrase of the PAGE clause.
2. Lower limit rule.
The last line number on which the page footing report group can be
presented is the line number specified by integer-1 of the PAGE
clause.
3. First print line position rules.
a. The first print line of the page footing report group is
presented on the line specified by the integer of its LINE
NUMBER clause.
b. The page footing report group is not presented.
4. Next group rules.
a. The NEXT GROUP integer must be greater than the line number
on which the final print line of the page footing report
group is presented. In addition, the NEXT GROUP integer
must not be greater than the line number specified by
integer-1 of the PAGE clause.
b. The sum of the NEXT GROUP integer and the line number on
which the final print line of the page footing report group
is presented must not be greater than the line number
specified by integer-1 of the PAGE clause.
5. Final LINE-COUNTER setting rules.
a. After the page footing report group is presented, the RWCS
places the NEXT GROUP integer into LINE-COUNTER as the
final LINE-COUNTER setting.
b. After the page footing report group is presented, the RWCS
places the sum of the NEXT GROUP integer and the line
number on which the final print line of the PAGE FOOTING
report group was presented into LINE-COUNTER as the final
LINE-COUNTER setting.
c. After the PAGE FOOTING report group is presented the final
LINE-COUNTER setting is the line number on which the final
print line of the PAGE FOOTING report group was presented.
d. LINE-COUNTER is unaffected by the processing of a
nonprintable report group.
Report Footing Presentation Rules.
Table 10-7 below points to the appropriate presentation rules for all
permissible combinations of LINE NUMBER and NEXT GROUP clauses in a
report footing report group. The report footing presentation rules are
as follows:
1. Upper limit rules.
a. If a page footing report group has been presented on the
page to which the report is currently positioned, then the
first line number on which the report footing report group
can be presented is one greater than the final LINE-COUNTER
setting established by the page footing report group.
Otherwise the first line number on which the report footing
report group can be presented is the line number obtained
by adding one and the value of integer-5 of the PAGE
clause.
b. The first line number on which the report footing report
group can be presented, is the line number specified by the
HEADING phrase of the PAGE clause.
2. Lower limit rule:
The last line number on which the report footing report group can
be presented is the line number specified by integer-1 of the PAGE
clause.
3. First print line position rules:
a. The first print line of the report footing report group is
presented on the line specified by the integer of its LINE
NUMBER clause.
b. If a page footing report group has been presented on the
page to which the report is currently positioned, then the
sum of the final LINE-COUNTER setting established by the
page footing report group and the integer of the first LINE
NUMBER clause of the report footing report group defines
the line number on which the first print line of the report
footing report group is presented. Otherwise the sum of
the integer of the first LINE NUMBER clause of the report
footing report group, and the line number specified by the
value of integer-5 of the FOOTING phrase of the PAGE clause
defines the line number on which the first print line of
the report footing report group is presented.
c. The NEXT PAGE phrase in the first absolute LINE NUMBER
clause directs that the report footing report group is
presented on a page on which no other report group has been
presented. The first print line of the report footing
report group is presented on the line number specified by
the integer of its LINE NUMBER clause.
d. If LINE IS NEXT PAGE is the only LINE clause in this report
group, the first line of the report heading report group is
presented on line HEADING integer-2.
e. The sum of the content of LINE-COUNTER and the integer of
the first LINE NUMBER clause defines the line number on
which the first print line is presented.
f. The report footing report group is not presented.
4. Final LINE-COUNTER setting rules.
a. The final LINE-COUNTER setting is the line number on which
the final print line of the report footing report group is
presented.
b. LINE-COUNTER is unaffected by the processing of a
nonprintable report group.

* See the section "Line Number Clause Notation" for a description
of the abbreviations used in column 1
** A blank entry in column 1 or column 2 indicates that the named
clause is totally absent from the report group description entry.
*** A blank entry in an applicable rules column indicates the absence
of the named rule for the given combination of LINE NUMBER and NEXT
GROUP clauses.
+ See "The LINE NUMBER Clause"
The COLUMN NUMBER Clause
Function
The COLUMN NUMBER clause identifies a printable item and specifies the
position of the item on a print line.
General Format
COLUMN NUMBER IS integer-1
Syntax Rules
1. The COLUMN NUMBER clause can be specified only at the elementary
level within a report group. The COLUMN NUMBER clause, if
present, must appear in or be subordinate to an entry that
contains a LINE NUMBER clause.
2. Within a given print line, the printable items should be defined
in ascending column number order such that each printable item
defined occupies a unique sequence of contiguous character
positions.
________________________________________________________________________
|(OSVS) |
|No restrictions on the sequence of COLUMN NUMBER clauses are |
|enforced. |
________________________________________________________________________
General Rules
1. The COLUMN NUMBER clause indicates that the object of a SOURCE
clause or the object of a VALUE clause or the sum counter defined
by a SUM clause is to be presented on the print line. The absence
of a COLUMN NUMBER clause indicates that the entry is not to be
presented on a print line.
2. Integer-1 specifies the column number of the leftmost character
position of the printable item.
3. The RWCS supplies space characters for all positions of a print
line that are not occupied by printable items.
4. The leftmost position of the print line is considered to be column
number 1.
The DATA-NAME Clause
Function
A data-name specifies the name of the data item being described.
General Format
data-name-1
Syntax Rule
In the report section data-name-1 need not appear in a data description
entry.
General Rule
In the Report Section, data-name-1 must be given in the following cases:
a. When data-name-1 represents a report group to be referred to by a
GENERATE or a USE statement in the procedure division.
b. When reference is to be made to the sum counter in the procedure
division or report section.
c. When a DETAIL report group is referenced in the UPON phrase of the
SUM clause.
d. When data-name-1 is required to provide sum counter qualification.
The GROUP INDICATE Clause
Function
The GROUP INDICATE clause specifies that the associated printable item is
presented only on the first occurrence of its report group after a
control break or page advance.
General Format
GROUP INDICATE
Syntax Rule
The GROUP INDICATE clause must be specified only in a DETAIL report group
entry that defines a printable item.
General Rules
1. If a GROUP INDICATE clause is specified, it causes the SOURCE or
VALUE clause to be ignored and spaces supplied, except:
a. On the first presentation of the DETAIL report group in the
report, or:
b. On the first presentation of the DETAIL report group after
every page advance, or:
c. On the first presentation of the DETAIL report group after
every control group.
2. If the report description entry specifies neither a PAGE clause
nor a CONTROL clause, then a GROUP INDICATE printable item is
presented the first time its DETAIL is presented after the
INITIATE statement is executed. Thereafter spaces are supplied
for indicated items with SOURCE or VALUE clauses.
Level-Number
Function
The level-number indicates the position of a data item within the
hierarchical structure of a report group.
General Format
level-number
Syntax Rules
1. A level-number is required as the first element in each data
description entry.
2. Data description entries subordinate to an RD entry must have
level-numbers 01 through 49 only.
General Rules
1. The level-number 01 identifies the first entry in a report group.
2. Multiple level 01 entries subordinate to a report description
entry having the level indicator RD do not represent implicit
redefinitions of the same area.
The LINE NUMBER Clause
Function
The LINE NUMBER clause specifies vertical positioning information for its
report group.
General Format
Click here to view figure.
Syntax Rules
1. Integer-1 and integer-2 must not exceed three significant digits
in length.
Neither integer-1 nor integer-2 can be specified in such a way as
to cause any line of a report group to be presented outside the
vertical subdivision of the page designated for that report group
type, as defined by the PAGE clause. (See the section "The PAGE
Clause" earlier in this chapter.)
Integer-2 can be zero.
2. Within a given report group description entry, an entry that
contains a LINE NUMBER clause must not contain a subordinate entry
that also contains a LINE NUMBER clause.
3. Within a given report group description entry, all absolute LINE
NUMBER clauses must precede all relative LINE NUMBER clauses.
4. Within a given report group description entry, successive absolute
LINE NUMBER clauses must specify integers that are in ascending
order. The integers need not be consecutive.
5. If the PAGE clause is omitted from a given report description
entry, only relative LINE NUMBER clauses can be specified in any
report group description entry within that report.
6. Within a given report group description entry a NEXT PAGE phrase
can appear only once and, if present, must be
in the first LINE NUMBER clause in that report group description
entry.
7. A LINE NUMBER clause with the NEXT PAGE phrase can appear only in
the description of body groups and in a REPORT FOOTING report
group.
8. Every entry that defines a printable item (see the section "The
COLUMN NUMBER Clause" earlier in this chapter) must either
contain a LINE NUMBER clause, or be subordinate to an entry that
contains a LINE NUMBER clause.
9. The first LINE NUMBER clause specified within a PAGE FOOTING
report group must be an absolute LINE NUMBER clause.
General Rules
1. A LINE NUMBER clause must be specified to establish each print
line of a report group.
2. The RWCS affects the vertical positioning specified by a LINE
NUMBER clause, before presenting the print line established by
that LINE NUMBER clause.
3. Integer-1 specifies an absolute line number. An absolute line
number specifies the line number on which the print line is
presented.
4. Integer-2 specifies a relative line number. If a relative LINE
NUMBER clause is not the first LINE NUMBER clause in the report
group description entry, then the line number on which its print
line is presented is determined by calculating the sum of the line
number on which the previous print line of the report group was
presented and integer-2 of the relative LINE NUMBER clause. If
integer-2 is zero, the line will be printed on the same line as
the previous print line.
If a relative LINE NUMBER clause is the first LINE NUMBER clause
in the report group description entry, then the line number on
which its print line is presented is determined by specified
rules. (See the section "Presentation Rules Tables" earlier
in this chapter.)
5. The NEXT PAGE phrase specifies that the report group is to be
presented beginning on the indicated line number on a new page.
(See the section "Presentation Rules Tables" earlier in this
chapter.) You need not specify integer-1 for the NEXT PAGE
phrase.
The NEXT GROUP Clause
Function
The NEXT GROUP clause specifies information for vertical positioning of a
page following the presentation of the last line of a report group.
General Format
Click here to view figure.
Syntax Rules
1. A report group entry must not contain a NEXT GROUP clause unless
the description of that report group contains at least one LINE
NUMBER clause.
2. Integer-1 and integer-2 must not exceed three significant digits
in length.
3. If the PAGE clause is omitted from the report description entry
only a relative NEXT GROUP clause can be specified in any report
group description entry within that report.
4. The NEXT PAGE phrase of the NEXT GROUP clause must not be
specified in a PAGE FOOTING report group.
5. The NEXT GROUP clause must not be specified in a REPORT FOOTING
report group or in a PAGE HEADING report group.
General Rules
1. Any positioning of the page specified by the NEXT GROUP clause
takes place after the presentation of the report group in which
the clause appears. (See the section "Presentation Rules Tables"
earlier in this chapter.)
2. The RWCS uses the vertical positioning information supplied by the
NEXT GROUP clause along with information from the TYPE and PAGE
clauses, and the value in LINE-COUNTER, to determine a new value
for LINE-COUNTER. (See the section "Presentation Rules Tables"
earlier in this chapter.)
3. The NEXT GROUP clause is ignored by the RWCS when it is specified
on a CONTROL FOOTING report group that is at a level other than
the highest level at which a control break is detected.
4. The NEXT GROUP clause of a body group refers to the next body
group to be presented, and therefore can affect the location at
which the next body group is presented. The NEXT GROUP clause of
a REPORT HEADING report group can affect the location at which the
PAGE HEADING report group is presented. The NEXT GROUP clause of
a PAGE FOOTING report group can affect the location at which the
REPORT FOOTING report group is presented. (See the section
"Presentation Rules Tables" earlier in this chapter.)
The SIGN Clause
Function
The SIGN clause specifies the position and the mode of representation of
the operational sign when it is necessary to describe these properties
explicitly.
General Format
Click here to view figure.
Syntax Rules
1. The SIGN clause can be specified only for a numeric data
description entry whose PICTURE contains the character "S".
2. The numeric data description entries to which the SIGN clause
applies must be described, implicitly or explicitly, as USAGE IS
DISPLAY.
3. When the SIGN clause is included in a report group description
entry, the SEPARATE CHARACTER phrase
must be specified.
General Rules
1. The optional SIGN clause, if present, specifies the position and
the mode of representation of the operational sign for the numeric
data description entry to which it applies. The SIGN clause
applies only to numeric data description entries whose PICTURE
contains the character "S"; The "S" indicates the presence of, but
neither the representation nor, necessarily, the position of the
operational sign.
2. A numeric data description entry whose PICTURE contains the
character "S", but to which no optional SIGN clause applies, has
an operational sign, but neither the representation nor,
necessarily, the position of the operational sign is specified by
the character "S". In this (default) case, General Rule 3 does
not apply to such signed numeric data items. The representation
of the default operational sign is defined in the section
Selection Of Character Representation And Radix in the chapter
COBOL Concepts.
3. Since a SIGN clause in a report group description entry must
specify the SEPARATE CHARACTER phrase, then:
a. The operational sign will be presumed to be the leading
(or, respectively, trailing) character position of the
elementary numeric data item; this character position is
not a digit position.
b. The letter "S" in a PICTURE character-string is counted in
determining the size of the item (in terms of standard data
format characters).
c. The operational signs for positive and negative are the
standard data format characters "+" , and "-",
respectively.
4. Every numeric data description entry whose PICTURE contains the
character "S" is a signed numeric data description entry. If a
SIGN clause applies to such an entry and conversion is necessary
for purposes of computation or comparisons, conversion takes place
automatically.
The SOURCE Clause
Function
The SOURCE clause identifies the sending data item that is moved to an
associated printable item defined within a report group description
entry.
General Format
SOURCE IS identifier-1
Syntax Rules
1. Identifier-1 can be defined in any section of the data division.
If identifier-1 is a report section item it must be a:
a. PAGE-COUNTER, or:
b. LINE-COUNTER, or:
c. Sum counter that is part of the report within which the
SOURCE clause appears.
2. Identifier-1 specifies the sending data item of the implicit MOVE
statement that the RWCS executes to move the content of the data
item referenced by identifier-1 to the printable item.
Identifier-1 must be defined such that it conforms to the rules
for sending items in the MOVE statement. (See the section The
MOVE Statement in the chapter The Nucleus.)
General Rule
The RWCS formats the print lines of a report group just prior to
presenting the report group. (See the section "The TYPE Clause"
earlier in this chapter.) It is at this time that the implicit MOVE
statements specified by SOURCE clauses are executed by the RWCS.
The SUM Clause
Function
The SUM clause establishes a sum counter and names the data items to be
summed.
General Format
Click here to view figure.
Syntax Rules
1. The data item that is the subject of the report group description
entry in which the SUM clause appears must not be defined as
alphabetic. Identifier-1 must reference a numeric data item. If
identifier-1 is defined in the report section, identifier-1 must
reference a sum counter.
If the UPON phrase is omitted, any identifiers
in the associated SUM clause which are themselves sum
counters must be defined either in the same report group that
contains this SUM clause or in a report group which is at a lower
level in the control hierarchy of this report.
If the UPON phrase is specified, any identifiers in the associated
SUM clause must not be sum counters.
2. Data-name-1 must be the name of a DETAIL report group described in
the same report as the CONTROL FOOTING
report group in which the SUM clause appears. Data-name-1 can be
qualified by a report-name.
3. A SUM clause can appear only in the description of a CONTROL
FOOTING report group.
4. Data-name-2 must be one of the data-names specified on the CONTROL
clause for this report. Data-name-2 must not be a lower level
control than the associated control for the report group in which
the RESET phrase appears.
FINAL, if specified in the RESET phrase, must also appear in the
CONTROL clause for this report.
________________________________________________________________________
|This rule is not enforced. (OSVS) |
________________________________________________________________________
5. The highest permissible qualifier of a sum counter is the
report-name.
General Rules
1. The SUM clause establishes a sum counter. The sum counter is a
numeric data item with an optional sign. At object time, the RWCS
adds into the sum counter the value in each data item referenced
by identifier-1. This addition is consistent with the rules for
arithmetic statements. (See the sections Arithmetic Statements
and Overlapping Operands in the chapter The Nucleus.)
2. The size of the sum counter is equal to the number of receiving
character positions specified by the PICTURE clause that
accompanies the SUM clause in the description of the elementary
item.
3. Only one sum counter exists for an elementary report entry
regardless of the number of SUM clauses specified in the
elementary report entry.
4. If the elementary report entry for a printable item contains a SUM
clause, the sum counter serves as a source data item. The RWCS
moves the data contained in the sum counter, according to the
rules of the MOVE statement, to the printable item for
presentation.
5. If a data-name appears as the subject of an elementary report
entry that contains a SUM clause, the data-name is the name of the
sum counter; the data-name is not the name of the printable item
that the entry can also define.
6. It is permissible for procedure division statements to alter the
contents of sum counters.
7. Addition of the values of the data items referenced by identifiers
into sum counters is performed by the report writer control system
during the execution of GENERATE and TERMINATE statements. There
are three categories of sum counter incrementing called
subtotalling, crossfooting, and rolling forward. Subtotalling is
accomplished only during execution of GENERATE statements and
after any control break processing but before processing of the
DETAIL report group. (See the section "The GENERATE Statement"
later in this chapter.) Crossfooting and rolling forward are
accomplished during the processing of CONTROL FOOTING report
groups. (See the section "The TYPE Clause" later in this
chapter.)
8. The UPON phrase provides the capability to accomplish selective
subtotalling for the DETAIL report groups named in the phrase.
9. The RWCS adds each individual addend into the sum counter at a
time that depends upon the characteristics of the addend.
a. When the addend is a sum counter defined in the same
CONTROL FOOTING report group, then the accumulation
of that addend into the sum counter is termed crossfooting.
Crossfooting occurs when a control break takes place and at
the time the CONTROL FOOTING report group is processed.
Crossfooting is performed according to the sequence in
which sum counters are defined within the CONTROL FOOTING
report group. That is, all crossfooting into the first sum
counter defined in the CONTROL FOOTING report group is
completed, and then all crossfooting into the second sum
counter defined in the CONTROL FOOTING report group is
completed.
When one of the addends is the sum counter defined by the
data description entry in which that SUM clause appears,
the initial value of that sum counter at the time of
summation is used in the summing operation.
b. When the addend is a sum counter defined in a lower level
CONTROL FOOTING report group, then the accumulation of that
addend into the sum counter is termed rolling forward. A
sum counter in a lower level CONTROL FOOTING report group
is rolled forward when a control break occurs and at the
time that the lower level CONTROL FOOTING report group is
processed.
c. When the addend is not a sum counter the accumulation into
a sum counter of such an addend is called subtotalling. If
the SUM clause contains the UPON phrase, the addends are
subtotalled when a GENERATE statement for the designated
DETAIL report group is executed. If the SUM clause does
not contain the UPON phrase, the addends which are not sum
counters are subtotalled when any GENERATE data-name
statement is executed for the report in which the SUM
clause appears.
10. If two or more of the identifiers specify the same addend, then
the addend is added into the sum counter as many times as the
addend is referenced in the SUM clause. It is permissible for two
or more of the data-names to specify the same DETAIL report group.
When a GENERATE data-name statement for such a DETAIL report group
is given, the incrementing occurs repeatedly, as many times as
data-name appears in the UPON phrase.
11. The subtotalling that occurs when a GENERATE report-name statement
is executed is discussed in the appropriate paragraph. (See the
section "The GENERATE Statement" later in this chapter.)
12. In the absence of an explicit RESET phrase, the report writer
control system will set a sum counter to zero at the time that the
report writer control system is processing the CONTROL FOOTING
report group within which the sum counter is defined. If an
explicit RESET phrase is specified, then the report writercontrol
system will set the sum counter to zero at the time that the
report writer control system is processing the designated level of
the control hierarchy. (See the section "The TYPE Clause"
later in this chapter.)
Sum counters are initially set to zero by the report writer
control system during the execution of the INITIATE statement for
the report containing the sum counter.
The TYPE Clause
Function
The TYPE clause specifies the particular type of report group that is
described by this entry and indicates the time at which the report group
is to be processed by the RWCS.
General Format
Click here to view figure.
Syntax Rules
1. RH is an abbreviation for REPORT HEADING.
PH is an abbreviation for PAGE HEADING.
CH is an abbreviation for CONTROL HEADING.
DE is an abbreviation for DETAIL.
CF is an abbreviation for CONTROL FOOTING.
PF is an abbreviation for PAGE FOOTING.
RF is an abbreviation for REPORT FOOTING.
2. REPORT HEADING, PAGE HEADING, CONTROL
HEADING FINAL, CONTROL FOOTING FINAL, PAGE
FOOTING, and REPORT FOOTING report groups can each appear no more
than once in the description of a report.
3. PAGE HEADING and PAGE FOOTING report groups can be specified only
if a PAGE clause is specified in the corresponding report
description entry.
4. Data-name-1, data-name-2, and FINAL, if present, must be specified
in the CONTROL clause of the corresponding report
description entry.
________________________________________________________________________
|This rule is not enforced with regard to FINAL. (OSVS) |
________________________________________________________________________
At most, one CONTROL HEADING report group and one CONTROL FOOTING
report group can be specified for each data-name or FINAL in the
CONTROL clause of the report description entry. However, neither
a CONTROL HEADING report group nor a CONTROL FOOTING report group
is required for a data-name or FINAL specified in the CONTROL
clause of the report description entry.
5. In CONTROL FOOTING, PAGE HEADING, PAGE FOOTING, AND REPORT FOOTING
report groups, SOURCE clauses and USE statements must not
reference any of the following:
a. Group data items containing a control data item.
b. Data items subordinate to a control data item.
c. A redefinition or renaming of any part of a control data
item.
In PAGE HEADING and PAGE FOOTING report groups, SOURCE clauses and
USE statements must not reference control data-names.
6. When a GENERATE report-name statement is specified in the
Procedure Division, the corresponding report description entry
must include no more than one DETAIL report group. If no GENERATE
data-name statements are specified for such a report, a DETAIL
report group is not required.
7. The description of a report must include at least one body group.
General Rules
1. DETAIL report groups are processed by
the RWCS as a direct result of GENERATE statements. If a report
group is other than TYPE DETAIL its processing is an automatic
RWCS function.
2. The REPORT HEADING phrase specifies
a report group that is processed by the RWCS only once, per
report, as the first report group of that report. The REPORT
HEADING report group is processed during the execution of the
chronologically first GENERATE statement for that report.
3. The PAGE HEADING phrase specifies a report group that is processed
by the RWCS as the first report group on each page of that report
except under the following conditions:
a. A PAGE HEADING report group is not processed
on a page that is to contain only a REPORT HEADING report
group or only a REPORT FOOTING report group.
b. A PAGE HEADING report group is processed as the second
report group on a page when it is preceded by a REPORT
HEADING report group that is not to be presented on a page
by itself.
(See the section "Presentation Rules Tables" earlier in this
chapter.)
4. The CONTROL HEADING phrase specifies a report group that is
processed by the RWCS at the beginning of a control group for a
designated control data-name or, in the case of FINAL, is
processed during the execution of the chronologically first
GENERATE statement for that report. During the execution of any
GENERATE statement at which the RWCS detects a control break, any
CONTROL HEADING report groups associated with the highest control
level of the break and lower levels are processed.
5. The DETAIL phrase specifies a report group
that is processed by the RWCS when a corresponding GENERATE
statement is executed.
6. The CONTROL FOOTING phrase specifies a report group that is
processed by the RWCS at the end of a control group for a
designated control data-name.
In the case of FINAL, the CONTROL FOOTING report group is
processed only once per report as the last body group of that
report. During the execution of any GENERATE statement in which
the RWCS detects a control break, any CONTROL FOOTING report group
associated with the highest level of the control break or more
minor levels is presented. All CONTROL FOOTING report groups are
presented during the execution of the TERMINATE statement if there
has been at least one GENERATE statement executed for the report.
(See the section "The TERMINATE Statement" later in this
chapter.)
7. The PAGE FOOTING phrase specifies a
report group that is processed by the RWCS as the last report
group on each page except under the following conditions:
a. A PAGE FOOTING report group is not processed on a page that
is to contain only a REPORT HEADING report group or only a
REPORT FOOTING report group.
b. A PAGE FOOTING report group is processed as the second to
last report group on a page when it is followed by a REPORT
FOOTING report group that is not to be processed on a page
by itself.
(See the section "Presentation Rules Tables" earlier in this
chapter.)
8. The REPORT FOOTING phrase specifies a report group that is
processed by the RWCS only once per report and as the last report
group of that report. The REPORT FOOTING report group is
processed during the execution of a corresponding TERMINATE
statement, if there has been at least one GENERATE statement
executed for the report. (See the section "The TERMINATE
Statement" later in this chapter.)
9. The sequence of steps that the RWCS executes when it processes a
REPORT HEADING, PAGE HEADING, CONTROL HEADING, PAGE FOOTING, or
REPORT FOOTING report group is described below.
a. If there is a USE BEFORE REPORTING procedure that
references the data-name of the report group, the USE
procedure is executed.
b. If a SUPPRESS statement has been executed
or if the report group is not printable, there is no
further processing to be done for the report group.
c. If a SUPPRESS statement has not been executed and the
report group is printable, the RWCS formats the print lines
and presents the report group according to the presentation
rules for that type of report group. (See the section
"Presentation Rules Tables" earlier in this chapter.)
10. The sequence of steps that the RWCS executes when it processes a
CONTROL FOOTING report group is described below.
The GENERATE rules specify that when a control break occurs, the
RWCS produces the CONTROL FOOTING report groups beginning at the
minor level, and proceeding upwards, through the level at which
the highest control break was sensed. In this regard, it should
be noted that even though no CONTROL FOOTING report group has been
defined for a given control data-name, the RWCS will still have to
execute the step described in rule 10f. below if a RESET phrase
within the report description specifies that control data-name.
a. Sum counters are crossfooted; that is, all sum counters
defined in this report group that are operands of SUM
clauses in the same report group are added to their sum
counters. (See the section "The SUM Clause" earlier in
this chapter.)
b. Sum counters are rolled forward; that is, all
sum counters defined in the report group that are operands
of SUM clauses in higher level CONTROL FOOTING report
groups are added to the higher level sum counters. (See
the section "The SUM Clause" earlier in this chapter.)
c. If there is a USE BEFORE REPORTING procedure that
references the data-name of the report group the USE
procedure is executed.
d. If a SUPPRESS statement has been executed or if the report
group is not printable, the RWCS next executes the step
described in rule 10e. below.
e. If a SUPPRESS statement has not been executed and the
report group is printable, the RWCS formats the print lines
and presents the report group according to the presentation
rules of CONTROL FOOTING report groups.
f. Then the RWCS resets those sum counters that are to be
reset when the RWCS processes this level in the control
hierarchy. (See the section "The SUM Clause" earlier
in this chapter.)
11. The DETAIL report group processing that
the RWCS system executes in response to a GENERATE data-name
statement is described in rules 11a. through 11e. below.
When the description of a report includes exactly one DETAIL
report group, the detail-related processing that the RWCS executes
in response to a GENERATE report-name statement is described in
rules 11a. through 11e. below. These steps are performed as
though a GENERATE data-name statement were being executed.
When the description of a report includes no DETAIL report groups,
the detail-related processing that the RWCS executes in response
to a GENERATE report-name statement is described in rule 11a.
below. This step is performed as though the description of the
report included exactly one DETAIL report group, and a GENERATE
data-name statement were being executed.
a. The RWCS performs any subtotalling that has been designated
for the DETAIL report group. (See the section
"The SUM Clause" earlier in this chapter.)
b. If there is a USE BEFORE REPORTING procedure that refers to
the data-name of the report group, the USE procedure is
executed.
c. If a SUPPRESS statement has been executed or if the report
group is not printable there is no further processing done
for the report group.
d. If the DETAIL report group is being processed as a
consequence of a GENERATE report-name statement, there is
no further processing done for the report group.
e. If neither 11c. nor 11d. above applies, the RWCS formats
the print lines and presents the report group according to
the presentation rules for DETAIL report groups. (See the
section "Presentation Rules Tables" earlier in this
chapter.)
12. When the RWCS is processing a CONTROL HEADING, CONTROL FOOTING, or
DETAIL report group, as described in General Rules 9, 10, and 11,
the RWCS can have to interrupt the processing of that body group
after determining that the body group is to be presented, and
execute a page advance ( and process PAGE FOOTING and PAGE HEADING
report groups) before actually presenting the body group.
13. During control break processing, the values of control data items
that the RWCS used to detect a given control break are referred to
as prior values.
a. During control break processing of a CONTROL FOOTING report
group, any references to control data items in a USE
procedure or SOURCE clause associated with that CONTROL
FOOTING report group are supplied with prior values.
b. When a TERMINATE statement is executed, the RWCS makes the
prior control data item values available to SOURCE clause
or USE procedure references in CONTROL FOOTING and REPORT
FOOTING report groups as though a control break had been
detected in the highest control data-name.
c. All other data item references within report groups and
their USE procedures access the current values that are
contained within the data items at the time the report
group is processed.
The USAGE Clause
Function
The USAGE clause specifies the format of a data item in the computer
storage.
General Format
Click here to view figure.
Syntax Rules
1. The USAGE clause can be written in any data description entry.
2. If the USAGE clause is written in the data description entry for a
group item, it can also be written in the data description entry
for a subordinate elementary item or group item.
3. The USAGE clause for a report group item can specify only USAGE IS
DISPLAY.
General Rules
1. If the USAGE clause is written at a group level, it applies to
each elementary item in the group.
2. The USAGE clause specifies the manner in which a data item is
represented in the storage of a computer. It does not affect the
use of the data item, although the specifications for some
statements in the procedure division can restrict the USAGE clause
of the operands referred to. The USAGE clause can affect the
radix or type of character representation of the item.
3. The USAGE IS DISPLAY clause indicates that the format of the data
is a standard data format.
4. If the USAGE clause is not specified for an elementary item, or
for any group to which the item belongs, the usage is implicitly
DISPLAY.
The VALUE Clause
Function
The VALUE clause defines the value of Report Section printable items.
General Format
VALUE IS literal-1
Syntax Rules
1. A signed numeric literal must have associated with it a signed
numeric PICTURE character-string.
2. A numeric literal in a VALUE clause of an item must have a value
which is within the range of values indicated by the PICTURE
clause, and must not have a value which would require truncation
of nonzero digits. A nonnumeric literal in a VALUE clause of an
item must not exceed the size indicated by the PICTURE clause.
General Rules
1. The VALUE clause must not conflict with other clauses in the data
description of the item or in the data description within the
hierarchy of the item. The following rules apply:
a. If the category of the item is numeric, literal-1 in the
VALUE clause must be numeric.
b. If the category of the item is alphabetic, alphanumeric,
alphanumeric edited, or numeric edited, literal-1 in the
VALUE clause must be a nonnumeric literal. The literal is
aligned in the data item as if the data item had been
described as alphanumeric (See the section Standard
Alignment Rules in the chapter COBOL Concepts). Editing
characters in the PICTURE clause are included in
determining the size of the data item but have no effect on
initialization of the data item (see the section The
PICTURE Clause in the chapter The Nucleus). Therefore, the
value for an edited item must be specified in an edited
form.
c. Initialization is not affected by any BLANK WHEN ZERO or
JUSTIFIED clause that can be specified.
2. In the report section, if the elementary report entry containing
the VALUE clause does not contain a GROUP INDICATE clause, then
the printable item will assume the specified value each time its
report group is printed. However, when the GROUP INDICATE clause
is also present, the specified value will be presented only when
certain object item conditions exist (see the section The GROUP
INDICATE Clause in the chapter Segmentation).
