RESERVE

Basic form

RESERVE n LINES.

Effect

If there is not enough space left on the current page for at least n lines, this statement starts a new page. n can be a constant (1,2,3,...) or a variable.

Notes

• Before starting a new page, the END-OF-PAGE processing is executed. This differs from NEW-PAGE.
  
• If the RESERVE statement does not trigger a new page, output is continued on the current page.
  
• Use BACK to return to the first line output after RESERVE.

The runtime required to execute a RESERVE statement is approx. 1 msn (standardized microseconds).
