If I remember my Cobol programming (bear with me) from a few decades ago, we didn't have an overflow indicator so we had to count the lines and condition our own report headings. I have done this same thing in an ILE RPG program (though it probably can be done in III) for an invoice form. In ILE RPG there is a PRTCTL keyword that can be specified on the printer's File spec. that contains the current line number; don't have a III manual handy so I don't know if it has something similar.

HI
Does anyone know where the current line number is stored in
an rpgIII program so
That the program knows when to seton the overflow indicator
of my choice.
I need this so I can read ahead the number of lines
available so I can turn on the
Overflow indicator myself, so that my next group of related
text lines all stay on the
same page
