The PAGE statement advances a print unit to a new page.
Format
PAGE {ON print.unit} {page.no}
where
The PAGE statement causes the footing to be printed at the end of the current page and advances to the next page. The heading will be printed if further output is directed to the print unit. The PAGE statement can be used to complete printing of the final page of output from a program.
If a new page number is specified, this takes effect after print unit has been advanced to the new page. A page.no of less than one causes the page number to be set to one.
A PAGE statement directed to the display causes the pagination prompt to be displayed unless it has been suppressed. The screen will be cleared to advance to the new page.
Example
PAGE ON PRINT.UNIT
This statement causes the print unit identified by PRINT.UNIT to advance to the next page. |
