Usage Information

Default:

  • When you specify an ENTRYTITLE statement inside of a nested LAYOUT, HEADER, SIDEBAR, or CELL statement block, then the title is placed inside of the component that the nested statement block creates.

  • When you specify an ENTRYTITLE statement outside of a nested LAYOUT, HEADER, SIDEBAR, or CELL statement block, then the title is placed outside of the component that the nested statement block creates.

Tip:

You can include expressions such as date and time stamps in an ENTRYTITLE statement.
