   These four lines are now defined as Header lines and will not scroll out of sight when the report is viewed.

2. Press the QUICKVIEW key (PF04/PF16) to look at the results.

   The Report Viewing screen is displayed.

   The ruler name DEFAULT appears in the RUL field.

   The defined Header lines appear in a different color than the rest
   of the report lines (on monochrome monitors they are bolded), indicating that they are no longer considered data lines.

3. Press the DOWN key (PF08/PF20) to look at S. Hawthorne's record again.

   The report Header lines remain at the top of the page when the display scrolls. It is now clear that the figure 10 in S. Hawthorne's record refers to Office Number.

Just as you defined headers in the Edit Report Lines and Columns screen, you can use option F (Footer) to define footers at the bottom of each page. These footers will also not scroll away.
