10 Adding Headers and Footers
058060 Tandem Computers Incorporated 10–1
Overview This section discusses the commands you use to put headers and footers in
your printed document. A header is text that appears along the top of a
page. Generally, headers identify the document or contain information
about what is on that specific page. Headers are sometimes called running
heads. You enter headers by using the HEADER command.
A footer is text that appears along the bottom of a page. Footers often
contain page numbers, identify the version of the document, or display
notices of copyright or confidentiality. You enter footers by using the
FOOTER command.
With TFORM HEADER and FOOTER commands, you can do the
following:
Place text in three locations within headers and footers
Include page numbers, time, and date in headers and footers
Enter up to ten headers and ten footers for each page
Place headers or footers on selected pages
Set separate margins for headers and footers
Header and footer commands entered either at the beginning of a file or
before any text on the first page take effect immediately. Headers or footers
entered on any other page, or after text on the first page, take effect with the
page following the command.
Headers and footers follow the same rules for entry, placement, and use, so
they are discussed together in this section.
Note TFORM puts headers and footers only on pages containing text. If you want a header or
footer on a blank page, make sure the page contains at least one line of text. TFORM
counts a blank line or the SPACE command as text.
The exception to this rule is when you use the NEW EVEN or NEW ODD command to
generate blank pages. TFORM prints headers or footers on these pages. For more
information on the NEW command, see Section 8 of this manual.
