AREV Specific

Good day all. I am wondering if there is an R/Basic variable that contains the current line number on page while AREV is outputting information in report format. That is, if the last line out put is at line number 45, is some varible that I can access that would have that number in it?

Thanks

Daniel, I can't recall seeing one. Every time I've written a report I've kept my own counter, especially if I've been handling pagination so multiple print lines per record (especially multivalue groups)didn't overlap page boundaries.

@REC.COUNT is often set to the total number of records prior to print, especially on a TCL based RLIST statement. This can be helpful (in rather limited circumstances) in anticipating the total number of records to be processed for constructing means or percentages etc. from a symbolic.

Perhaps the function CURRENT.LINE on util disk2- tools may do the job? See calling program CURRENT.LINE.TEXT on the same disk:

* PRINTER ON

PRINT @(-1)

FOR I=1 TO 10
PRINT 'This is line ':I
NEXT

CURLINE=CURRENT.LINE()

* PRINTER OFF

MSG('The current line is %1%',,,CURLINE)
