FORMFEED = <Boolean>

Form feeds after each print job may be either enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF) after each print job. This command is identical to its AMOS equivalent. The default is ON, though this may be overridden by the correct switch to SPOOL.SBR.

Note that under Windows printers and UNIX, it can be tricky to avoid a form feed at the end of a printout. This is because both operating systems, in contrast to AMOS, tend to think of a spool requests as wholly autonomous, and thus it seems to make little sense to allow a report to just end in the middle of a page, since there is no way of knowing what the next report will expect. Under Windows, you may need to use PASSTHROUGH=ON to get FORMFEED=OFF to work. Under UNIX, you can usually apply a filter to solve the problem. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information on printer setup and filters.

The AUTOFF option (UNIX only) provides a nearly foolproof way of dealing with optional trailing form feeds.
