LAST-PAGE

Function

Places the last page number on each page, as in “page n of m”.

Syntax

Arguments

position

Position for printing the last page number.

pre_txt_lit

Text string printed before the last page number.

post_txt_lit

Text string printed after the last page number.

Description

The text strings specified in pre_txt_lit and post_txt_lit are printed immediately before and after the number.

Using LAST-PAGE causes the SQR and SQRT executables to delay printing until the last page has been processed so that the number of the last page is known.
