HEADON
Resumes header/trailer output to a device. (Native Mode)
Syntax
HEADON ldev
Parameters
ldev The logical device number of the printer affected by the command.
Operation Notes
Header and trailer information appears before and after a file when it is printed. This
information is not a part of the file's text. This information identifies the file by session
number, output spoolfile number, session name (if any), user, and account. It also lists the
date and time the file was printed.
When the header/trailer facility is enabled, output is directed to a line printer, and MPE/iX
automatically prints header and trailer pages identifying the job that produced the file.
If the device is in use, your request to resume header/trailer output takes effect after the
current output is complete.
The header/trailer facility is always enabled at system startup.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command. It may be executed only from the console unless distributed
to users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE command.
Example
To resume header/trailer output to logical device number 6 enter:
HEADON 6
