Page Limit - Control Data Corporation 3300 Reference Manual

5.3.7
PAGE LIMIT
5-16
This clause indicates the specific line control to be maintained within the
logical presentation of a page. PAGE LIMIT is required when page format
is to be controlled by the Report Writer; it may be omitted when no associa-
tion is necessary between report groups and the physical format of the report
page.
If
PAGE LIMIT is omitted, absolute LINE NUMBER and absolute
NEXT GROUP clauses must also be omitted.
Only one PAGE LI:MIT clause can be specified for each RD entry.

Integer-l through integer-5 must be positive. Integer-2 through integer-5
each must be less than or equal to integer-I.
Integer-1 is required to specify the depth of the report page; it need not be
equal to the physical perforated continuous form often associated in a report
with the page length.
t
The size of the fixed data name, LINE-COUNTER, is
based on the integer-1 LINES specification. It is the maximum numeric
size required to prevent overflow.
If absolute line spacing is indicated for all report groups, integer-1 must be
specified, and none of the integer-2 through integer-5 controls need be
specified.
If
relative spacing is indicated for individual type detail report group entries,
the following must be specified:
Integer-3
if
a page heading is present
Integer-4 if a control heading is present
Integer-5 if a page footing is present
HEADING integer-2: First line number of first heading report group. No
report group will start before integer-2.
FIRST DETAIL integer-3: First line number of first normal (detail or con-
trol) report group. No detail or control report group will start before
integer-3.
t
The only carriage control tape requirement is that the TOP-OF-FORM punch
must be equal to LINE 0 of the report.
