Special Considerations for FORMATFILEs

The keywords END-OF-PAGE and EOP are equivalent. When the END-OF-PAGE phrase is specified, and an EOP condition exists after the processing of the WRITE statement for the FORMATFILE file, the END-OF-PAGE imperative statement is processed. An EOP condition for a FORMATFILE file occurs when the logical end of page is reached during the processing of a WRITE statement for that file. The logical end of the printed page is specified in the overflow line number parameter of the CRTPRTF command or the OVRPRTF command.
