a string of text in place of the standard `"***"` literal

options may be enclosed in the same set of single quotation marks.

## Syntax

```

| --- | --- | --- |
| options | ’l’ | Suppresses the blank line preceding the grand total. |
| ’p’ | Issues a form feed (page eject) before the grand total. | |
| ’u’ | Double-underlines all totaled fields. | |
| ’’ | (Two single quotations marks.) Inserts a single quotation mark in text. | |
