can I do this - USE xfile - in the middle of a FOOTING stmt

[Peter Bateman]

Nancy:

I don't think Powerhouse was designed to 'USE' part of a statement.

What you need is a macro processor. Which QUIZ can be.
In PDL
File PARTIAL org sequential
Record PARTIAL
  Item PARTIAL_USE_LINE


File PARTIAL=STD1.USE

Access PARTIAL
Initial Heading &
  "PAGE FOOTING &" skip 1 &
  "TAB 10 &"            skip 1 &
Report PARTIAL_USE_LINE
set report device disc name FULL
set page length 0 width 132
go

Instead of the statements plus STD1.USE

USE FULL

Other languages provide macro processors.  You probably could
define a QUIZ program within the context of the processor Just don't try to 
compile it just save
the output to be USEd by QUIZ.!
