Re: Skip Before question

The "Skip before" is to the line number, not the number of pages. Therefore, normally, "skip before 3" would be to skip to the 3rd line of the next page.
However it can also be used as a "skip before 62" for example, to always print a footer line on line 62 of a page. This sometimes yields unexpected results if your output had already landed you on line 63.

Hi,

Every so often I run across program-defined reports where the headings don't start on a new page, so I have to fix it. Pretty simple fixes.

Well today I came across a program-defined print file with the following line:
OQPrint E header 1 03

So it has a Skip Before value of 03. But it's not skipping 3 pages. In this instance, I only want to skip to the next page, so I'm going to change the Skip Before value to 1, but as I read the current line, it's not doing as I'd expect.

Thoughts?
