Overflow

Warning: This topic does not affect the C generator.

The overflow line must be defined when you generate/compile your model. You must calculate it according to the formats knowing that the overflow of lines is tested before the first line of any format is printed.

You must therefore take into account the number of lines printed by the format.

Example

Let's assume the BOT_PAGE format uses 6 lines:

If the overflow (OF) is on the 64th line.

If the program is on the 63rd line before printing the format, you will not get a page down skip. When printing this format, the page size (66 lines) will be exceeded. The printout sequence is preserved.

Important note: In order to avoid loops, make sure not to trigger a new page skip inside a page skip section (for example, by printing a number of lines greater than the overflow limit).
