VMS Help RUNOFF, file, Qualifiers, /PAGES *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
/PAGES=string Positional qualifier. Specifies that only the pages within the specified range be generated as output. By default, DSR generates output for all pages. Specify the range as follows: start-page-number:end-page-number,... You can specify up to five ranges (for example, /PAGES="2-9:2-12, 4-1:4-10, 5-9:5-9, A-1:A-3, and Index-1:Index-5"). You can omit the colon (:) and the end page number on the last range. You can omit the quotation marks (" ") if you specify only one range. Page numbers must be specified in their default form, not the form specified in a .DISPLAY command. You can specify just the appendix letter or name to produce an entire appendix. You can specify just the word INDEX to produce an entire index. If you specify only a starting page number, output begins at the specified page and continues to the end of the file. To output a single page, the start range and end range must be the same (for example, /PAGES=5:5). For an entire appendix, only a letter is required (for example, /PAGES=A). For an entire index, only the word INDEX is required (/PAGES=INDEX). You can refer to specific appendix or index pages with a numeric suffix such as INDEX-10. Note that the /PAGES qualifier does not recognize any display modes. You must specify the default form of page numbers (5-15) rather than any special form you may have specified with the .DISPLAY NUMBER command (for example, V-15). For details on the .DISPLAY NUMBER command, enter HELP DSR at the DCL prompt.
