LAST-PAGE

Syntax

LAST-PAGE position [pre_txt_lit[post_txt_lit]]

Description

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

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

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

Parameters

Parameter	Description
position	Specifies the position for printing the last page number. See the POSITION command for a description of the position parameter.
pre_txt_lit	Specifies a text string to be printed before the last page number.
post_txt_lit	Specifies a text string to be printed after the last page number.
