Re: FORM FEED

Use an ASK statement to set the number of lines per page and use the #IFDEF
DEBUG - #ENDIF syntax to incluse/exclude the no-formfeed statement.

Here's a sample form an SQR that sets the lines/page at run time:

  ask numlines 'How many lines-per-page would you like? (66 or 80)?'
  page-size {numlines} 136

Subject: FORM FEED

Hi there:
I'm writing a SQR progam to produce graduation listing and labels. The program
will print listing or labels base upon option parameter. If listing selected, I
want to print the listing with new-page at 55 lines. If labels selected, labels
will continue printing without form feed. Since 'no-formfeed' command is only
placed in BEGIN-SETUP that cause no form feed, how do I control the form feed
in the program? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.
