Setting a Footer Text in the Main Window: BOTTOM

Use

You can specify footer texts for the main window in a similar way to header texts. Footer texts are always printed at the bottom of the window.

            /: BOTTOM
:
:
/: ENDBOTTOM

The lines of text enclosed between the two control commands will be output from now on at the bottom of the main window.

An existing footer text can be disabled by using the BOTTOM .. ENDBOTTOM command pair without enclosing any text lines between the two command lines:

            /: BOTTOM
/: ENDBOTTOM

This and subsequent pages will contain no footer text.

Note

Assuming there is still sufficient space in the main window, a newly specified footer text will also be printed on the current page.
Footer texts should not be employed in texts that are printed from applications programs, such as reminder texts, order texts. These applications programs can also work with footer texts via the form interface, which may lead to unexpected results.
