$TITLE

The $TITLE command speciﬁes a list of characters to be printed each time a heading is

printed on a new page. It does not cause a page eject.

Syntax

$TITLE [["

character-string

"],...]

Parameters

character-string

is a list of characters enclosed in quotation marks. When the

command is executed, the quotation marks are stripped and the

character-strings are concatenated. A quotation mark within a

character-string is speciﬁed by a pair of quotation marks.

Example

$TITLE"""PRELIM""ORDERS DATABASE"

$TITLE "ORDERS DATABASE SCHEMA JULY, 1991"

Description

The $TITLE command can be overridden by a subsequent $TITLE or $PAGE command. If no

character-string is speciﬁed, no title is printed after the command is encountered until

another $TITLE or $PAGE command speciﬁes one.
