10.6.6 Printing a Linage-File Report
The default PRINT command inserts a page ejection when a form nears the end
of a page. Therefore, when the default PRINT command refers to a linage-file
report, it can change the report’s page spacing.
On Tru64 UNIX systems, to print a linage-file report, use this command:
% lpr report-file-specification
♦
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, to print a linage-file report, use the /NOFEED
qualifier with the DCL PRINT command as follows:
$ PRINT report-file-specification/NOFEED
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, the LINAGE clause causes a Compaq COBOL
report file to be in print-file format. (See Chapter 6 for more information.) ♦
When a WRITE statement positions the file to the top of the next logical page,
the device is positioned by line spacing rather than by page ejection or form feed.
For more information on printing your report, see Section 10.7.
