RPG/400 Help
- Entry
- Explanation
- H or D
- Detail records usually contain data that comes directly from the input
record or that is the result of calculations processed at detail time.
Heading records usually contain constant identifying information such as
titles, column headings, page number, and date. No distinction is made
between heading and detail records. The H/D specifications are
available to help the programmer document the program.
- T
- Total records usually contain data that is the end result of specific
calculations on several detail records.
- E
- Exception records are written during calculation time. Exception
records can be specified only when the operation code EXCPT is used.
See Operation Codes for further information on the EXCPT
operation code.
Position 15 indicates the type of record to be written. Position 15
must have an entry for every output record. Heading (H) and detail (D)
lines are both processed as detail records. No special sequence is
required for coding the output records; however, all lines of each record
type (H, D, T, or E) are handled at separate times within the program
cycle.
