sys.dr_epskip()

Purpose:

sys.dr_epskip() skips lines at scrolling prog EndPage.

Usage:

ret = sys.dr_epskip(<count>);

Arguments:

integer <count> - Number of lines to skip. Should be greater than 0.

Returns:

integer <ret>

0 - Currently this is the only return.

Where Used:

sys.dr_epskip() can be called only from the EndPage PCL of scrolling programs.

Example:

Description:

This PCL skips <count> lines for a scrolling program. It should only be called during the EndPage PCL processing. sys.dr_epskip() works like sys.page() except that <count> lines are skipped instead of doing a page break. It can be used when printing labels or when you want to do your own line counting.

Bugs/Features/Comments:

This PCL is obsolete and may be removed without notice. Instead, you should use the bootstrap fields to define the page layout, or in special cases, use the <nskips> arg to sys.page().
