What do the manuals say?
The EJECT statement specifies that the next source statement is to be printed at the top of the next page.
| Code: |
___ Format _____________________________________________________________
| |
| >>__EJECT__ ___ ____________________________________________________>< |
| |_._| |
| |
|________________________________________________________________________|
|
The EJECT statement must be the only statement on the line. It can be written in either Area A or Area B, and can be terminated with a separator period.
The EJECT statement must be embedded in a program source. For example, in the case of batch applications, the EJECT statement must be placed between the CBL (PROCESS) statement and the end of the program (or the END PROGRAM marker, if specified).
The EJECT statement has no effect on the compilation of the source program itself. |

Hi Mo,
EJECT is a compiler directing stmt. That means it doesn't find its way in to the pgm you're compiling.
It directs the compiler to print the next line of the compiler printout to the top of the next page.
Take the time to peruse the manual periodically. You'll learn a lot more. |

The EJECT statement is a compiler-directing statement, provided as an
IBM extension, which causes the compiler to perform a page eject
operation on the source listing. The next source statement line (i.e.,
the line following the EJECT statement) is then printed at the top of
the next page.
Format
------
EJECT
EJECT may appear in either Area A or Area B but must be the only
statement on the line. It may be followed by an optional period. |
