Line Headers
To print the details read from link files, HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the link
detail line groups D2 to D9. For the KSAM based and the HP TurboIMAGE/iX
applications, line group D2 is used for details from the option file.
For the HP ALLBASE/SQL based application, no file linkages are used, so
the only detail line group used is D1.
This is the major difference between the KSAM and HP TurboIMAGE/iX line
header information and the HP ALLBASE/SQL line header information.
If you are developing the KSAM based application or the HP TurboIMAGE/iX
based application, read on below.
If you are developing the HP ALLBASE/SQL based application, turn to HP
ALLBASE/SQL Based Applications.

3. Also define a header for the following line:
D2.01 This is the first line of the second detail group. This
line contains the option details and is printed as a result of a
link to the option file. You will learn more about file linkages
shortly.
Line Group D2
Line Number 01
Action A
Before Print print_option
Function
The before print function print_option tests to see if any options
were found and it prints a message if none were found. You will
create the function and message soon.
The E1.01 line is printed from the print_option function mentioned
above. It tells the user that no options were found for the
particular product just printed.
