Hi,

Is any chance to code TITLE conditionally in Easytrieve REPORT? I would like to print TITLE or HEADING in a report based on working storage variable value by using IF condition (if any). Like below.

rg_nath,

why don't you just define 1 title variable and move the value into it ?

Be aware that a TITLE (or HEADING) only appears at the top of the page. To do what you seem perhaps to want you'd need to SEQUENCE on "something" so that all of one type of title will appear together., and you need to specify a CONTROL field which will use NEWPAGE, so you get to see your different titles in a logical manner.

Thanks William Collins for the information !!

So if i want to print the Title in logical manner, i have to specify 'CONTROL fld1' in REPORT statement.

Yes. Although to see it with your data, as a test, you could specify a very small number of lines for a page.
