RELEASE (REL)
RELEASE (REL)
The RELEASE; command sends to the printer all PRINT.FRAME; commands that have
been previously executed in a Report or Shadow Report.
A change in the value of the System Data item GLB.STN will invoke an automatic release.
For ROC Systems, a change in the value of the System Data items GLB.DEVICE or
GLB.PRINTHOST will also invoke an automatic release.
Reports Using Report Output Control (ROC)
When a RELEASE; command is executed, the current Report file is closed, and any
subsequent output will begin with a new page. The System Data item GLB.PAGECOUNT is
set to zero after a release.
Depending on whether or not the Report is performing other updates, the Report output
may not be available to ROC until a CRITICAL.POINT; command, a SLEEP; command, or
end of Report occurs.
When the RELEASE command is used with the ON.CHANGE; command, the footing frame
is not sent to the printer in the current ROC file.
Reports Not Using ROC (MCP environment only)
Syntax
Examples
GLB.PAGECOUNT is NOT set to zero after a release.
An automatic page throw occurs at the start of Report output to a TP or LP device,
following a RELEASE; command.
The RELEASE; command cannot be used in Video reports.
