OUTFIL IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT to assign a one-digit sequence number in an extension to each record. IFTHEN=(WHEN=(logical expression to identify every fifth record and use BUILD=(1,yourlength,/,C'A',yourlength:X), WHEN=NONE for BUILD=(1,yourlength) |

A better solution has been pointed out to me, using the OUTFIL reporting functions. LINES= says how long a "page" is and TRAILER2 is "printed" at the end of each page.
So, with REMOVECC,LINES=6,TRAILER2='the value you want want' it should be about there. |

But Bill, if you go with the simpler version, then ANYONE can understand it! |
