Example 10–1:
1
Report Heading (RH)—The report heading (the lines marked with 1 and all
the lines between) consists of information printed before the main body of a
report. It can be printed on a separate page, or as the first page heading, with
the remaining page headings abbreviated to save paper. The report heading
can include information such as handling and distribution instructions. It can
also include the selection criteria, sort order, and assumptions made when
creating the report.
2
Page Heading (PH)—The page heading (the line marked with 2 and the line
following) consists of information printed on the top one or more lines of every
page in the report. It usually names and dates the report, gives the report
page number, and produces a title for each column of information in the detail
line.
