Re: Stopping pages with no 'body' being printed?

[Scott Barnes <sbarnes@MAIL.WESLEYAN.EDU>]

The easiest solution is to put the new-page in the part of your SQR that
does the processing.  Put it directly before the first print command.  I
assume that when you say "I'm doing prints all over the place" you are
talking about actual PRINT commands, not printing directly from a
begin-select statements.  If the first line in the body never gets printed
the new-page before the first PRINT command should not get printed also.
