[MT-L] FORCE A PAGE BREAK - MAGIC 5.4

[e.ma...@thelondonclinic.co.uk]

Hi,

Can someone help with the syntax for forcing a page break?

I have 2 issues

1) Information on a record that is split over 2 pages. I would like to
force a page break when so that the whole record is printed on the next
page.

2) I would like to force a page break every 5 records.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Call the new page program from an LC or AL D footnote in a macro.

In the macro, make the call conditional on either (A) record is too big for remaining lines or (B) you have hit the fifth record.

Assume you know that the record is 10 lines long

Magic:

IF{/.LL<10 %[/R.NEW.PAGE.PGM](0);
CNT+1^CNT\5=0 %[/R.NEW.PAGE.PGM](0)}

In C/S the code would be the same except lines left is kept in /R.LL vs /.LL
and the new page program / variable contains the prefix as well as the program name

IF{/R.LL<10 [/R.NEW.PAGE.PGM](0);
CNT+1^CNT\5=0 [/R.NEW.PAGE.PGM](0)}
