196. Making the most of VIEW (4) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ View has 26 number registers which are labelled A to Z. All of them can be set from within the document but two are used by View to hold the page number (P) and number of lines (L). To set a register press and enter SR followed by and then the register and the number you wish to set it to. For example SR A 20 which would set register A to a value of 20 Printing out number register values is achieved by placing their symbols (A to Z) after either the DH DF CE RJ or LJ commands although they must be preceded by the symbol. For example LJ L would print out the number of lines in the current page DF //Page P// would print the page number each time a footer is printed Instead of a number you can use an expression such as A=A+2, which must be entered as SR A A+2 Not the most exciting of the View facilities although the value L (number of lines) is useful when placed at the bottom of the document and in conjunction with SCREEN, used to show how many lines of the page are left. ie SR A 66- L LJ A where 66 is the page length Finally if you have a Master then D and T are not available as they are used for printing the date and time respectively. de Andrew G8YHI
