Table Of Contents

Example

The following two lines of code are functionally equivalent and display the content of a page named MyFirstPage:

@MyFirstPage

execpage('MyFirstPage')

ExecPage (procedure)

Executes the content of the specified document page, as if it were part of the calling page. The content of the page in this case

excludes the paper handling properties of the page. If you want to include the paper handling properties in the page execution,

see "$element (procedure)" (page 613).

The execpage() and @page() commands are equivalent.

Syntax

execpage( pagename )

Argument

pagename

String value specifying the name of the page to run. The page must exist, and its name is case insensitive.

Code Sample Example

In this example, the current page executes pages 2, 3 or 4 according to a data selection. This allows you to create pages of

'subroutines' that can be called from any other page.

Example

define(&x,integer,strtoint(@(7,4,8)))

if(&x < 1000)

execpage('PAGE1')

elseif()

if(&x > 1000)

%This is equivalent to execpage('PAGE3')

@PAGE3

elseif()

execpage('PAGE2')

endif()

ShowPage (procedure)

Instructs the printer to output the page and move on to the next instruction.

This command has no effect on screen, because it is intended to be executed only inside the printer.

Syntax

showpage()
