SIMSCRIPT II.5 Programming Language

Programming Language Concepts
illustrate a simple report section that merely marks off a controlled output statement. That report
section prints N lines containing two values each. If the output report is to be labeled, the program
can be written as:
begin report
print 1 line as follows
I X(I)
for I = 1 to N,
print 1 line with I, X(I) as follows
** **.***

Figure 3-1. Report Using Row and Column Repetition
A heading is printed above the N lines of output that identify the displayed values. If N is large and
the output continues on more than one page, only the results on the first page are labeled. All other
pages are untitled.
A heading section may be defined within a report section so that titles are printed and any necessary
computation performed whenever a page is ejected. A heading section is started by the statement
begin heading and ended by the statement end. All statements between a begin heading and
its matching end are executed whenever a page is ejected by an output statement within an
enclosing report section, but after the heading section itself.
