Ex :

IF my out put is of 10 pages then i need to have page no. as 1 on fisrst and so on.

Pleased if some one provide the code.

Hello,

You need to define a linecounter and a pagecounter in working-storage. For the first line written and every n lines written, you need to write the "page heading with the page#, increment the pagecounter, and zero the linecounter. You would increment the linecounter each time you write a line.

Pleased if some one provide the code.

We will help you work on your code, but will not do the work for you. If someone (other than you) posts a whole solution, it will be deleted.

thanks

You're welcome

If there are questions/problems while you are coding/debugging, post them here. Someone will be able to clarify.
