Line counter specifications can be used for each program described PRINTER file to indicate the length of the form and the number of lines to print on a page. These entries are specified on the RPG/400 Extension and Line Counter Specifications. Line counter specifications may be used for each PRINTER file in your program. If line counter specifications are used, position 39 of the file description specifications for the PRINTER device must contain an L.
A form length and an overflow line specified by the OS/400 system override commands override any program specifications. If no override commands are used for the PRINTER file, the program specification of form length and overflow line is used. If there are no overrides and no program specifications, the form length and the overflow line specified in the device file are used.
