Windows Caption in Reporter

I wrote a small program that allows the report generator (or any program) to put a message (report name) on the Windows Title Bar and clear it. This is handy to communicate the report running to the user:

!s wtitle.ibs,xxx
!o wtitle,xxx
!l txx,e
!r qmonitorLENGTH 252 & LOCAL WindowsTitle$

GetCaption: FORMAT WindowsTitle$

INPUT (#,GetCaption)
IF STRIP(WindowsTitle$) = "#CLEAR" then WindowsTitle$=""
PRINT (0) (Set Window Caption = WindowsTitle$,0)
EXIT

Simply place the command before the REPORT command: ENTER WTITLE,,[MESSAGE] in your report spec and your done.

If you want to clear the title line at the end of the report:

ENTER WTITLE,,#CLEAR
