Using logical processing RSTACK TEST Defines the test expression for the "end of report" conditions for either Change mode or Constant mode criteria. Syntax RSTACK TEST = testexp Options Table 3-44. TEST parameter options and definitions Option Definition testexp Defines test criteria that, if satisfied, signals the end of the report for either Change Mode or Constant Mode criteria. Refer to "Coding a test expression" earlier in this chapter for the format and syntax of a testexp. Default No default RSTACK command: points to note • If the TEST expression on the RSTACK command consists solely of a Change Mode CRITERIA command, DELIMITER=NO must be coded. • If a record that is an RSTACK delimiter (satisfies the test expression), it must neither be deleted from nor not selected for printing by the RSELECT or RDELETE logical processing. If the record satisfies the RSTACK test criteria but is not a delimiter, it can be deleted from or not selected for printing. However, it still causes report separation. • If an RSTACK command contains a TEST expression that specifies a constant mode CRITERIA command, and DELIMITER = YES, the RSTACK command can be used to detect a heading of a report as a report boundary. Points to note for online printing: • Detection of RSTACK criteria within a not yet recognized banner page (RSTACK record occurs before BANNER criteria line) results in subsequent incorrect report separation. • Detection of RSTACK criteria in a recognized but incomplete banner page (RSTACK record occurs after BANNER criteria line) is ignored. 3-58 Using LCDS Print Description Language
