Footing

The Footing keyword will cause the OpenList commands List and Sort to produce a running page footing (text at the bottom of each page). The footing can contain text, page numbers, dates, and other information.

Footing "text ['options'[,format]]"

The footing clause consists of the keyword Footing followed by the footing specifications in double quotes.

Note: You must use double quotes.

The format of the options for Footing are exactly like those of the keyword Heading. For example:

Footing "Report produced on 'D'"

For details about the options available in Footing, please refer to the keyword Heading elsewhere in this chapter.

This is an example of a command using a footing clause.
