CODE

Specify a two-character literal placed at the beginning of each report line. It is useful when writing multiple reports to one file.

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Syntax:

CODE literal

literal

A two-character, non-numeric name inserted as the first two bytes of each report record or print line

The two bytes identifying a literal are included in the logical record size, not in the print line description.
If your report has a File Description (FD) in the REPORT IS clause, include a RECORD CONTAINS clause that allows for the two extra bytes the CODE clause needs; the default value of 133 for RECORD CONTAINS does not.
If your report does not have a File Description, the AMB default record length of 250 includes the extra two bytes the CODE clause needs.
If you specify CODE for one report, specify it for all reports in the file.
