Banner Page
The banner page is divided into two parts. The banner header is printed at the top in large scale
print. A detail area is printed at the bottom. The detail area includes the spool file and distribution
information.
The banner header is four lines of text printed in a large scale font. The information that is printed
in the header is variable and may be defined at the time the banner is printed. This is accomplished
with control words. A control word is replaced by data specific to the banner at the time the banner
is printed.
Note. Control words must be entered into the banner definition in lower case characters.
