Function

The NEWPAGE statement is used to cause an advance to a new page. NEWPAGE also causes any AT END OF PAGE and WRITE TRAILER statements to be executed. A default title containing the date, time of day, and page number will appear on each new page unless a WRITE TITLE, WRITE NOTITLE, or DISPLAY NOTITLE statement is specified to define specific title processing.

Notes:

The advance to a new page is not performed at the time when the NEWPAGE statement is executed. It is performed only when a subsequent statement which produces output is executed.
If the NEWPAGE statement is not used, page advance is controlled automatically based on the Natural profile/session parameter PS (Page Size for Natural Reports).

Operand	Possible Structure					Possible Formats												Referencing Permitted	Dynamic Definition
`operand1`	C	S					N	P	I									yes	no

Syntax Element Description:

Syntax Element	Description
`(rep)`	Report Specification: The notation `(rep)` may be used to specify the identification of the report for which the `NEWPAGE` 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. If `(rep)` is not specified, the `NEWPAGE` statement will be applicable to the first report (Report 0). For information on how to control the format of an output report created with Natural, see Controlling Data Output (in the Programming Guide).
`EVEN IF TOP OF PAGE`	EVEN IF TOP OF PAGE Option: This option is used to cause a new page (with corresponding `AT TOP OF PAGE` and page title processing) to be generated, even if a new page was initiated immediately before the `NEWPAGE` statement was encountered.
`WHEN LESS THAN operand1 LINES LEFT`	WHEN LESS THAN ... LINES LEFT Option: This option is used to cause a new page to be generated when there are less than `operand1` lines left on the current page (current line count compared with value for the Natural profile/session parameter `PS`).
`WITH TITLE title-definition`	WITH TITLE Option: This option can be used to specify a title which is to be written to the new page generated. The `title-definition` is specified using the same syntax as described for the `WRITE TITLE` statement, except that the `SKIP` clause is not allowed in a `NEWPAGE WITH TITLE title-definition` statement.
