CAPITAL's financial report writer comes with a
series of 'commands' that may be included anywhere you choose
inside your reports. The majority of these act as 'information
request codes'. For example, the command [Time] replaces
the key word 'time' with the time that the report was printed.
Other commands direct the report printing system to perform special
tasks and do not print anything on the report as such.
A list of the codes that make up these commands,
and their purpose, follows. The following commands direct the
formatting of report printing. They do not print anything
themselves:
|
[@setzero]
|
When this command is encountered, account
information for accounts with zero balances for the period and year
are not printed. Note that the printing of user variables or
function calculations are not suppressed by this command, even if
their results are zero.
|
|
[@setblank]
|
Prints a blank space in place of "0.00" if an
account balance for the period or year is zero.
|
|
[@setnormal]
|
Turns off either of the above two print
suppression modes.

|

setting.
