  1. In the Program Painter, initialize all report counters and set up control heading and footing items with the INITIATE statement.
  2. Process the detail lines with a GENERATE statement. If the report has multiple detail lines, code multiple GENERATE statements.
  3. End report processing with the TERMINATE statement.

Use the following structure:

   NTRY
                .
                .
           OPEN INPUT filename1
           ... OUTPUT filename2
                .
                .
           INITIATE reportname
                .
                .
           IF ...
               GENERATE detlineidentifier
                .
                .
           TERMINATE reportname
                .
                .
           CLOSE filename1 filename2
