COBSTORE will allow you to save information from one page of the spooled file, together with static information if required, and output it to another page. This can be useful if information is only printed on say the first page of an Invoice, Order etc. but is perhaps required to be output on every page.
To Save information call COBSTORE with the following parameters:

*SAVE + Text ID #1 |
15 |
|
| #1 | The Text ID can be up to 10 characters and should immediately follow the *SAVE .e.g. *SAVEADD1 where ADD1 is the Text ID in order that multiple text lines may be stored by using different Text IDs. If you call COBSTORE with *SAVE and the same Text ID as a previous call without first returning the data then the original stored data, for that Text ID will be overwritten. |
To Return information call COBSTORE with the following parameters:
