General Information

ON PAGE# specifies the number of pages to be counted before execution of a printing mission begins (even if other runtime scheduling criteria are not met). If the number of pages to be printed by the printing mission reaches or exceeds this threshold, execution of the mission begins.

Only report pages decollated by means of a DO PRINT statement are counted. Report pages for which a (re)print request was issued using option P (Print) in a User Report List screen are not counted.

During the scheduling process, the ON PAGE# counter is checked before processing IN conditions but after processing the TIME parameter. Therefore, a printing mission cannot be triggered by parameter ON PAGE# if its TIME criteria are not satisfied, but can be triggered even if a required prerequisite condition does not exist.

If parameter ON PAGE# is specified in a cyclic printing mission, the normal time interval between cycles may be reduced. If parameter ON PAGE# causes a cyclic printing mission to be executed, a new time interval begins. For more information, see parameter INTERVAL earlier in this chapter.
