Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Header record
 
A list of field names (or categories of
information) stored in the first paragraph of a
data document. The field names of a header
record match the field names you place in a
main document, which indicate variable text to
appear in a form document. A header record should
not be confused with a header, which is text that
prints at the top of a page. See also: Data
document; Form document; Main document.
