X 8.1.14 TITLE Statement

X The TITLE statement specifies a title to be printed at the top of each
X page of the source listing produced during compilation. If no TITLE
X statement is found, a title containing the identification of the compiler
X and the current release level is generated. The title is left-justified
X on the title line.

X literal

X Must be nonnumeric and can be followed by a separator period.

X Can be a DBCS or EUC literal.

X Must not be a figurative constant.

X In addition to the default or chosen title, the right side of the title
X line contains:

X Name of the program from the PROGRAM-ID paragraph for the outermost
X program (This space is blank on pages preceding the PROGRAM-ID
X paragraph for the outermost program.)
X Current page number
X Date and time of compilation

X The TITLE statement:

X Forces a new page immediately, if the SOURCE compiler option is in
X effect
X Is not printed on the source listing
X Has no other effect on compilation
X Has no effect on program execution
X Cannot be continued on another line
X Can appear anywhere in any of the divisions

X A title line is produced for each page in the listing produced by the LIST
X option. This title line uses the last TITLE statement found in the source
X statements or the default.

X The word TITLE can begin in either Area A or Area B.

X The TITLE statement must be embedded in a program source. For example, in
X the case of batch applications, the TITLE statement must be placed between
X the CBL (PROCESS) statement and the end of the program (or the END PROGRAM
X header, if specified).

X No other statement can appear on the same line as the TITLE statement.
