SKIP=n | MIN | MAX | hex

Syntax Description

n: specifies the range of lines to skip from 0 to 20. (The SKIP= value does not affect the maximum number of lines printed on each page, which is controlled by the PAGESIZE= system option.)
MIN: sets the number of lines to skip to 0, so no lines are skipped.
MAX: sets the number of lines to skip to 20.
hex: specifies the number of lines to skip as a hexadecimal number. This number must be followed by an X.

Details

The location of the first line is relative to the position established by carriage control or by the forms control buffer on the printer. Most sites define this so that the first line of a new page begins three or four lines down the form. If this spacing is sufficient, specify SKIP=0 so that additional lines are not skipped.
