Belongs to Function Group: Creation of Output Reports
The AT END OF PAGE statement is used to specify processing
that is to be performed when an end-of-page condition is detected (see the
session parameter PS in the
Parameter Reference). An end-of-page condition may also
occur as a result of a SKIP
or NEWPAGE statement, but
not as a result of an EJECT
or INPUT statement.
See also the following sections in the Programming Guide:
An AT END OF PAGE statement block is only executed if the
object which contains the statement block is active at the time when the
end-of-page condition occurs.
An AT END OF PAGE statement must not be placed within an
inline subroutine.
This statement is non-procedural, that is, its execution depends on an event, not on where in a program it is located.
The end-of-page check is performed after the processing of a
DISPLAY or
WRITE statement is
completed. Therefore, if a DISPLAY or WRITE statement
produces multiple lines of output, overflow of the physical page may occur
before an end-of-page condition is detected.
A logical page size (session parameter PS) which is less than
the physical page size must be specified to ensure that information printed by
an AT END OF PAGE statement appears on the same physical page as
the title.
Within a main program, an end-of-page condition is activated when the
execution of the main program terminates via ESCAPE, STOP or END.
Within a subroutine, an end-of-page condition is not activated when the
execution of the subroutine terminates via ESCAPE-ROUTINE,
RETURN or END-SUBROUTINE.
Natural system functions may be used in conjunction with an AT
END OF PAGE statement as described in the section
Using System
Functions in Processing Loops in the
System
Functions documentation.
If a system function is to be used within an AT END OF
PAGE statement block, the GIVE SYSTEM
FUNCTIONS clause must be specified in the corresponding
DISPLAY statement.
If an INPUT
statement is specified within an AT END OF PAGE statement block,
no new page operation is performed. The page size (session parameter
PS) must be
reduced to a value that allows the lines created by the INPUT
statement to appear on the same physical page.

Report Specification: The
notation
(rep) may be used to specify
the identification of the report for which the AT END OF PAGE
statement is applicable. A value in the range 0 - 31 or a logical name which
has been assigned using the DEFINE PRINTER statement may be specified.
