Description
The .shortremark statement is an optional statement that specifies a one‑line description of the report. You can use this short description to help document your report specifications, but its primary purpose is to provide information that appears on the Catalog and Save frames of RBF.
There can only be one .shortremark statement in a program. The second .shortremark statement is flagged with a syntax error. Only the first 60 characters of the descriptive text are stored in the database. All characters past 60 are ignored.
