I HAVE EXTERNALY DISCRIBE PRINTER FILE. I WANT TO WRITE 30 RECORDS IN ONE PAGE. I USED OFLIND KEY WORLD BUT PAGE BREAK NOT WORK. TWO HEADINGS ARE WRITE IN ONE PAGE .

I ADD MY SOURCE CODE HERE

The main logic problem I see is that the code that increments Cntnopol and sets on indicator 80 is at a different nesting level of your IF logic than the code that writes to the printer file. If your chain to LMADDR fails, you will still perform the WRITE DETL01 but you will not increment Cntnopol. For both stylistic and logical reason, you should always keep related code such as incrementing a line counter and printing adjacent to each other.

I’m not sure if this will fix the specific problem you are currently having, but it will be an issue at some point. You might want to try putting your program in debug mode and stepping through it line by line to get a better understanding of when your header and detail lines are printing.

You may also want to remove the OFLIND(*In80) from the F spec of your printer file. Since you are manually controlling the line counting the automated overflow may be causing the header to print twice at the beggining.

If you are still having problems post the print file source here for us to look at.

ElTerrifico is basically right about OFLIND(*In80). (And the logic nesting levels.) If you’re going to be doing your own counting and setting *IN80 on and off, then you need to take care about doing it while the system is also counting lines and setting the indicator on. Either you should do it, or you should let the system do it.

Personally, I’d say it’s bad form to do the counting yourself. That’s especially true if you use constants to set limits. It goes against the point of having externally-described files in the first place. You aren’t counting lines on your display file. Why count them on your printer file? This is why printer files have an OVRFLW() attribute.

Also, I’m a little confused about these lines: 

C     @POLNO        Chain     LMCHPR                             20
C                   If        %found

…and: 

C                       If        *In20 = *Off
C                         Eval      Cntnopol = Cntnopol + 1
C                       Endif

If 20 is the NR indicator, then it will always be off at that point. You can’t get there unless the earlier %FOUND was on.

Two additional minor items: 

C                       If        Cntnopol = 31

That should probably be: 

C                       If        Cntnopol > 30

I don’t see it making any difference in your existing logic, but it might make a difference as you develop the program more.

And: 

C                       write     HEAD01
C                       write     SUBHEAD

Since those always seem to be written together, why have them be separate record formats? Just make one record format that prints both of them with a single WRITE statement.
