PAGE-NUMBER function

PAGE-NUMBER function

Returns the page number of the output destination as an INTEGER value. If the output stream is not paged, PAGE-NUMBER returns a value of 0.

Syntax
PAGE-NUMBER [ ( stream | STREAM-HANDLE handle ) ] 
stream

The name of an output stream. If you do not name a stream, PAGE-NUMBER returns the page number of the default unnamed output stream.

STREAM-HANDLE handle

The handle to an output stream. If handle it is not a valid handle to a stream, the AVM generates a run-time error.

Example

This procedure creates a customer report with a page number on each page:
r-pgnbr.p
OUTPUT TO pagenum.txt PAGED. 
FOR EACH Customer NO-LOCK: 
  FORM HEADER "Customer report" AT 30 
    "Page:" AT 60 PAGE-NUMBER FORMAT ">>9" SKIP(1). 
  DISPLAY Customer.CustNum Customer.Name Customer.Address Customer.City 
    Customer.State Customer.Country. 
END.
