.Hdll

Top  Previous  Next

Returns the number of or resets the last row written in the page header.  This attribute is addressed as

 

Localfileidentifier.hdll= value;

or

parameteritem = Localfileidentifier. hdll;

 

where the value can be between 1 and the header size in terms of number of lines.

Notes:

Unlike the row and column control, the last line attribute is updated continuously.
The .hdll attribute does not have values applicable to the current page.  It will apply to the next page.
Not only can this attribute be used to determine the last line used in a header area, but it can also be used to delete lines within this area.  Namely, the header section will be completely deleted by resetting the hdll attribute to 0 and any non zero specification shorter than the current number of lines in the header deletes lines in excess of the hdll setting.
