.Ll

Top  Previous  Next

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

 

Localfileidentifier.ll= value;

or

parameteritem = Localfileidentifier.ll;

 

where the value can be between 1 and the page height in terms of number of lines less adjustments for margins, headers and titles.

Notes:

Unlike the row and column control, the Ll attribute is updated continuously.
The .Ll attribute may be reset for the current page.
Not only can this attribute be used to determine the last line used in a page, but it can also be used to delete lines.  Namely, the current writing will be completely deleted by resetting the Ll attribute to 0 and any non zero specification shorter than the current number of lines in the header deletes lines whose line numbers are in excess of the Ll setting.
