Turning on NO.PAGE from within a BASIC program

[FredW]

I feel almost silly asking about this -- I sure I somehow missed it.

To clarify, you can specify NO.PAGE on the command line, e.g.

RUN BP SOME.PGM NO.PAGE

but I've come across a case where I'd like to turn it on under program control. I'm passing a bunch of (optional) parameters on the command line and it is minor pain to filter out NO.PAGE

I'm not using HEADING -- this is more like a "Verbose" option on some linux commands.

Thanks.

It is just a matter of knowing where to look in the documentation - look under DISPLAY / CRT.

"Pagination may be suppressed by use of any @(x, y) cursor positioning function. Note that this does not have to be sent to the screen; use of the function is sufficient. Thus a statement such as
DUMMY = @(0,0)
will suppress pagination even though nothing is displayed by this statement. Pagination may be turned on again by use of the PRINTER RESET statement."

Cheers,

Brian

Thanks. I knew it was something simple like that.
