RE: page n of x

["jt" <jt@xxxxxx>]

John Carr suggested this approach.

IMO, the easiest way to code the solution is to
1) add an *entry parm on the print program.  The parm is for total pages.
2) Call program once, with the parm = 0 and at end move *PAGE to the parm.
3) DLTSPLF (because report prints "Page x of 0")
4) Call program again this time with total pages entered for parm

A couple changes to RPG and a 10-line CL should do it.

Subject: page n of x


I need to put 'page n of x' on a printout.  I know I can easily use a dds
keyword to get the current page.  Is there something that tells my program
how many pages there are?  Maybe a dds keyword like PAGE?
