PAGE

 

Syntax:

       Then: page

 

Available only for reports.

 

Version Ref:  3.x

 

Description:

Forces end of page when printing reports.

 

PAGE, in conjunction with the system-maintained field @LC, "line count," is used to set a particular page size for reports. When PAGE is encountered on an output processing table, the program does a form feed and prints the report's heading at the top of the next page.

 

Examples:

To obtain a new page every 45 lines or whenever the total dollar amount on the page exceeds $1000.00. You could set up the processing as follows:

 

       Then: to(7,.2,g)=tot(10)
         If: @lc eq 45 or to ge "1000.00"
       Then: page; to= ""

 

where "to" is the total field and "@lc" is the system-maintained line-count field.
