Defining group headings

z/OS ISPF Dialog Tag Language Guide and Reference
SC19-3620-00

The Group Header (GRPHDR) tag defines a group heading in the panel )BODY section.

The FORMAT attribute is used to control the type of text formatting. You can choose formatting similar to the LINES tag or the P tag. For example, if FORMAT=NONE, the text formats as if you used a LINES tag. However, if FORMAT=START, CENTER, or END, the text flows to multiple lines and is formatted at the right, center or left part of the space reserved for the group heading.

Here is a short description of the other available attributes:
WIDTH
This attribute specifies the number of columns reserved for the group heading. The default value is the remaining panel width.
FMTWIDTH
This attribute specifies the number of columns (of the WIDTH value) to use for formatting the group heading. The default is the WIDTH value. By specifying a FMTWIDTH that is less than the WIDTH value, the group heading text can be formatted on multiple lines.
INDENT
This attribute specifies the number of bytes that the group heading is to be indented.
HEADLINE
This attribute specifies whether dashes are added to span the width of the group heading not occupied by text.
DIV
This attribute specifies the type of divider line to be placed before and after the group heading text.
DIVLOC
This attribute specifies whether the divider is to be added before the group heading, after the group heading, or both before and after the group heading.
COMPACT
This attribute causes the group heading to format without a blank line before the group heading.
STRIP
This attribute causes leading and trailing blanks to be removed from the group heading text.
