RE: Printer File Overflow...

So, your saying that because I have no overflow indicator or no error
handling, that I will always get this error when I print on the overflow
line?  I guess I didn't know that you had to have that indicator there
even if you aren't going to use it.  The doc. states that it will set on
the overflow indicator when overflow is reached, but I don't recall
seeing it say that if you don't have anything available for the program
to "turn on" (an indicator), then the program will bomb.  That is
interesting.

Yes.  You can print on the overflow line but it will generate error to
tell your program that you have reach the overflow line.

Example: 
- If your page size length is 68 and your overflow line is 64.  You can
print up to 68.  However, you will start to receive overflow error on
line 64.

I actually think this is the real question?  I thought the documentation
said you can print on the overflow line, but maybe I not reading it
right?

If the overflow line if 66 and you are writing the line 66.  The error
should occur, shouldn't it?
To stop this error, simply do: write(e), specify the overflow indicator
in F spec or change the overflow line to 67.
