PAGE option

The PAGE option can be specified only for PRINT files. It defines a new current page within the data set. If PAGE and LINE appear in the same PUT statement, the PAGE option is applied first. The PAGE option takes effect before the transmission of any values defined by the data specification (if any).

The page remains current until the execution of a PUT statement with the PAGE option, until a PAGE format item is encountered, or until the ENDPAGE condition is raised, resulting in the definition of a new page. A new current page implies line one.

For output to a terminal in interactive mode, the PAGE option skips three lines.
