RE: page n of x

This is not an existing solution (I don't think so, anyway), but wouldn't it
make sense for the spool writer to be able to perform the "number of pages"
substitution.  As long as the printer file schedule was *JOB or *FILE (iow,
not *IMMED) the number of pages should be known (or at least knowable) by
the writer.  It could then perform the replacement of a system keyword with
the actual number of pages.  Perhaps a custom writer could do this quite
simply.  This is the only solution I can imagine that wouldn't require an
additional iteration over the data.

Along these same lines, does anyone know if an exit program can be called
for each line of spooled output, similar to that for page separators?  This
would be handy, huh?
