| heading | The heading may be a character string or an expression yielding the appropriate string format. If more than one heading is specified, the headings are delimited by @FM (field marks). Each heading will appear at the top of a column. Each heading in a ColHeading statement may contain up to 50 characters. Column headings will appear on the first line below the result of any print statement using the Heading statement. Use @VM (value marks) to produce column headings of more than one line. |
ColHeading works with the Heading, Footing, and Page statements, and must be used in conjunction with ColLength. If the value for ColLength is shorter than that for ColHeading, then the heading will be no longer than ColLength.
