REPORT TEST NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DATA: ROW TYPE I VALUE 3.

WRITE 'Line 1'.

WRITE 'Line 5'.
SKIP TO LINE ROW
WRITE 'Line 3'.

produces the following output:

Line 1

Line 3

Line 5

Note

The statement SKIP TO LINE lin is executed only if the contents of lin lie between 1 and the maximum number of lines per page (see NEW-PAGE LINE-COUNT ).
