# UC - Underlining Character

This session parameter determines the character that is used as underlining character for the following:

- column headings generated by `DISPLAY` statements;

- page titles/trailers produced by `WRITE TITLE` / `WRITE TRAILER` statements with `UNDERLINED` option.

Possible settings | any character | See also Note.
`OFF`
Default setting | `-` | Hyphen (-).
Specification within session | yes |
Applicable statements | `DISPLAY` `FORMAT` `WRITE TITLE` `WRITE TRAILER` |
Applicable command | none |

Note
If you do not wish column headers to be underlined, you have the following options:

`UC=` | A blank line will be output instead of underlining.
`UC=OFF` | The field values will be output immediately below the heading line, without any blank line in between. You can specify `UC=OFF` only at the statement level of a `DISPLAY` statement; in this case, you cannot make any other `UC` specifications for individual fields in that statement.

#### Examples:

    FORMAT UC=*
    DISPLAY (UC= ) NAME AGE (UC=+)
