Option Definition
DATA Allows you to specify selected data pages to function as banner pages for
report separation.
This type of banner page is printed with a form (if specified). In duplex mode, it
is printed as a duplex page with data on the back.
If multiple PDE BEGINs and TYPE=DATA parameters are specified, only the
first header page of the report is repositioned to the first logical page of a new
physical sheet.
BANNER Specifies that the banner pages will print without forms. In duplex mode, the
banner pages are printed with blank backs.
