A job is running with header pages only as the offset criteria. The system encounters a page other than a banner page. The system encounters a non-banner page before HCOUNT is satisfied. Parameter Result If TCOUNT= 0 The page after the first header is positioned at TOF. If TCOUNT not 0 The page after the last trailer is positioned at TOF. TCOUNT = 0 Job parameters such as DJDEs and page numbering for a given report are applied to the first header page of the following report. TCOUNT = 0 The next banner page is treated as the first header of a new report, even if HCOUNT is not satisfied. HCOUNT not 0 and TCOUNT not 0 The system assumes that the report has fewer header pages than were specified and begins looking for trailer pages.
