This function is only available under BS2000.
For printers directly connected to a processor or terminal, it is often
required to print a header before the actual message. This message header
contains information on acknowledgments and printing itself (LA1
function for hardcopy devices). For detailed information, see the corresponding
SNI manuals.
The standard message headers *STD B (bypass printers) and
*STD N (processor connection) are delivered with the spool file.
If the connection type (for example, S) does not allow the usage
of message headers, message processing is left to the operating system.
This document covers the following topics:
When you invoke this function, the Message Header window appears where you can specify the name of a message header and the connection type in a window. This corresponds to the message header and connection type specified with Function 31.4.

From the Message Header window, you can also select a message header from a list of message headers available or add a new message header to the spool file.
To select a message header from a list, enter one of the following:
a partly-qualified name (e.g. S* to list all message
headers starting alphabetically from S),
an asterisk (*) to list all message headers in the
NATSPOOL system.
A list of message headers is then shown in a window.
