NO.PAGE option during Compile

[Steve Trimble]

for a program update, i don't want my customers to have to answer the
pagination prompt that automatically appears.

my paragraph:

ED MD COMPILE.PROGRAMS
PA
SELECT RBB.PGMS <> "$BASIC.OPTION"
SELECT RBB.PGMS <> "RBB.COMMON.LINES"
BASIC RBB.PGMS

so, I have to do this in my code:

HOLD.DEPTH = @CRTHIGH
EXECUTE \TERM ,32000\
EXECUTE \COMPILE.PROGRAMS\
EXECUTE \TERM ,\:HOLD.DEPTH

you'd think BASIC.RBB.PGMS NO.PAGE would work, but nooooo - it won't.

also, how come you can't do this:

SELECT RBB.PGMS <> "$BASIC.OPTIONS""RBB.COMMON.LINES"

doesn't work for me.

just fyi - this is OpenQM commercial version on Windows - version
2.6-12

i'm still being amazed at some of the great things QM can do and some
of the even sillier things it wouldn't do. course remember, i'm an old
Mentor, mvBASE, AP/PRO, D3, Reality, Ultimate fart.

I agree with Steve that BASIC should not paginate. Then again, I think
universe paginates basic compiles, but it is broken over there as well.

You can:

SELECT BRR.PGMS WITH @ID <> "$BASIC.OPTIONS" AND WITH @ID <>
"RBB.COMMON.LINES"

Hi Steve,

I will look into the pagination issue today and get back to you.

Remember that this is a short form for
SELECT RBB.PGMS @ID <> "$BASIC.OPTIONS" OR @ID <> "RBB.COMMON.LINES"

This will therefore select everything.

The promised update....

QM 2.6-12 will support the NO.PAGE option in teh BASIC command. You
will also be able to supply this via the $BASIC.OPTIONS record.

After a long delay, we hope to release 2.6-12 on Friday or early next
week.
