To use automatic page numbering, code PAGE in positions 30 through 43 as the name of the output field. Indicators specified in positions 21 through 29 condition the resetting of the PAGE field, not whether it prints. The PAGE field is always incremented by 1 and printed. If the conditioning indicators are met, it is reset to zero before being incremented by 1 and printed. If page numbers are needed for several output files (or for different numbering within one file), the entries PAGE1 through PAGE7 can be used. The PAGE fields are automatically zero-suppressed by the Z edit code.
