Returns the page size (lines per page) of an output destination as an INTEGER value. If the output stream is not paged, PAGE-SIZE returns a value of 0.
Syntax
PAGE-SIZE [ ( stream| STREAM-HANDLE handle ) ]
stream
The name of an output stream. If you do not name a stream, PAGE-SIZE returns the page size of the default unnamed output stream.
STREAM-HANDLE handle
The handle to an output stream. If handle it is not a valid handle to a stream, the AVM generates a run-time error.
Example
This procedure prints a customer report categorized by state. At the end of each state category, it tests to see if there are at least four lines left on the page. The LINE-COUNTER function returns the current line number of output. If that number plus four is greater than the total number of lines on the page (returned by the PAGE-SIZE function), then the procedure skips to a new page. If there are four or more lines left, the procedure skips a line before printing the next customer record.
