Description

The CAPTION directive allows various types of caption to be printed in the standard GenStat styles. The contents of the caption are supplied by the TEXT parameter. The STYLE parameter specifies a string to indicate the caption style:

    plaintext
ordinary text,

    stress
text to be emphasized,

    minor
a minor caption signifying a sub-section in the output,

    major
a major caption signifying a section in the output,

    meta
a meta-caption to group several sections of output,

    note
a "note" to the user, and

    status
a "status" message.

   The PFIRST option allows you to start the caption on a new page or to precede it by a line of dots (or a horizontal "rule" if the output is formatted; see the OPEN directive). Alternatively, the outprint setting generates the dots or new page according to the setting for the current output channel (see the OUTPUT directive).

 

Option: PFIRST.

Parameters: TEXT, STYLE.
