Re: why does SQR skip a line on new page?

["Benzenhafer, Dave" <DBenzenhafer@HOUSTON.DEEPWATER.COM>]

Try this

Let #bottom_line = 55  !or whatever the length of your page is
begin-program
  while #count < 100
    print #current-line ( ,5) edit 999

   If #current-line >= #bottom_line
        newpage

        !you can use this line if you need to use more than one column
        !on a page and set up the column command

      !next-column goto-top=1 at-end=newpage

   else
      position (+1,1)
   end-if

    add 1 to #count
  end-while
end-program

Subject: why does SQR skip a line on new page?


can someone explain to me why the following code will only print on line
1 of the first page of output? [all subsequent pages start on line 2]

begin-program
  while #count < 100
    print #current-line ( ,5) edit 999
    position (+1)
    add 1 to #count
  end-while
end-program
