The SUPPRESS PRINT FOR Statement

The SUPPRESS PRINT FOR statement provides a means of inhibiting print for a specified number of pages at the beginning of a report. Its primary purpose is to provide for restart in case of power or mechanical printer failures. Note that it is still necessary to re-run the report from its beginning to that totals may be accumulated correctly even though printout will not appear for the specified number of pages.

The SUPPRESS PRINT FOR statement performs its execution by altering the select code for the standard printer as set in the PRINTER IS statement. Use of the PRINTER IS statement while a report is active will cause an error 270 to occur.
