Default settings

Number of lines = 60

Number of columns = 132

Functional description

This directive specifies the number of lines and columns per page.  At the line where the page directive 

itself is specified the assembler will output a carriage return and apply the newly set values.

Operand coding rules

The expressions coded in the operand must result in the attribute abs (absolute).  Refer to section 8.7.4, 

"Expression Attributes", regarding attributes of expressions.

Specify the number of lines in the range 10 – 255.  Specify the number of columns in the range 60 – 

255.

If a value outside the allowable range is specified, the assembler will generate an error and ignore this 

directive.

Usage example

Below is an example use of the page directive.
