Re: OFLIND Problems

Okay, this works, but I don't like to output. Is there a something I
am missing on my manual paging logic. I set my max lines (about 60), I
add to to a line count for every record making sure I add the right
number of lines to the counter. Then when a new page is needed
(Line_Count >= MAX_LINES), then I print my page header which contains
a SKIPB(1) in the record. I got an CPF5008 or something like that
error.
