SUPPRESS TRAILER
This statement enables and disables the execution of the PAGE TRAILER
section. Unlike the TRIGGER PAGE BREAK options, the suppression is in
force across multiple pages.
This statement can occur anywhere in the same subunit as the report
description.
Syntax
{ON }
SUPPRESS TRAILER {OFF}
Examples
100 SUPPRESS TRAILER OFF
The SUPPRESS TRAILER ON statement prevents the execution of the PAGE
TRAILER section. If this statement occurs during the execution of a PAGE
TRAILER, it does not take effect until the next page. If executed before
the PAGE TRAILER for the current page, the PAGE TRAILER does not appear
on the current page.
When the PAGE TRAILER is suppressed, the lines normally reserved for the
page trailer are available to you. Therefore, this statement can
increase the size of a page. The bottom margin reserved in the PAGE
LENGTH statement are not suppressed.
The SUPPRESS TRAILER OFF statement re-enables the execution of the PAGE
TRAILER section. Normally, this is all that this statement does.
However, if you have already printed in the area reserved for the page
trailer, the SUPPRESS TRAILER OFF statement causes an automatic page
break.
The SUPPRESS options of the TRIGGER PAGE BREAK do not reset the settings
of the SUPPRESS TRAILER statement. For example, if SUPPRESS TRAILER ON
has been executed, then both of the following statements suppress the
page trailer:
TRIGGER PAGE BREAK
TRIGGER PAGE BREAK, SUPPRESS TRAILER
Because the page trailer is suppressed anyway, no output is expected.
The temporary suppression in the second statement does not cause the page
trailer to resume printing on the next page. Only a SUPPRESS TRAILER OFF
statement can do that.
