Re: OFLIND Problems

Is your concern about the amount of blank space at the end of the page?  Do
you have concerns about one or two line widows and orphans? Is it desirable
to keep all 12 lines on the same page?  If you always have 12 lines then
perhaps you want to consider page-at-a-time printing?  Print a page at the
end of every 4th record, and laying out the page as a 4-record page format? 
That'd give you a 51 or 55 line body, with room for headers and footers.

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.
