Most reports are designed to be printed. They usually contain about 60 to 80 lines per page as opposed to 20 to 24 lines in a screen display (depending on the screen model).
The NEXTPAGE and PREVPAGE commands scroll by print-page (printed report page), unlike the UP and DOWN scroll commands that scroll according to the number of lines in a screen. If you are in the middle of a page and enter the NEXTPAGE command, the display scrolls to the top of the next print-page.
NEXTPAGE and PREVPAGE may be abbreviated to N and P, respectively.
The command format for each command is, respectively
NEXTPAGE n
PREVPAGE n
where n is the number of print-pages to scroll up or down
When you use these commands without specifying the number of print-pages, a default value of 1 is assumed.
Now use the NEXTPAGE or PREVPAGE command to scroll through the report. You should currently be at the top of the report.
The top line of the Report Viewing screen (below) indicates that you are on PAGE 2 OF 3 (print-pages). The record at the top belongs to N. McMann (employee number 66157).
