Document Pages

@page (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. The height and width of the page content thus becomes the height and

width of the group that would result if you created a single group of all of the page elements. If you want to include the paper

handling properties in the page execution, use the $element syntax instead.

The@ character can be the beginning of a data selection, a page call or a procedure or function call.

The @page() and execpage() commands are functionally equivalent. However, the execpage() command has the

added ability of calling variable page names.

Syntax

@pagename()

Arguments

pagename

String value specifying the name of the page you want to execute.

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 612).

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.
