Partial Print Commands

The following table summarizes the partial print command:

PB and PE—PB identifies the first line to be copied to the new file and PE identifies the last line to be copied. Copies a range of lines into the new spool file as follows:
- If the cursor is placed in the Command input field, the first line displayed is the first line copied.
- If the cursor is placed in the data, the line pointed at by the cursor is the first line of the new file.
Cursor placement is the same as the PB command.
PL <aaaaaa <bbbbbb> x* </ccc> x> and PP <aaaaa <bbbbbb> x* </ccc> x>—PL identifies the lines to be copied and PP identifies the pages to be copied. Copies a range of line into the new spool file as follows:
- The number of lines/pages is decided by the two operands.
- The first operand identifies the number of the first line/page to be copied.
- The second operand identifies the last line/page to be copied.
- If the first operand is prefixed by */, the line/page is identified by the position of the cursor according to the rules for the PB command.
- If the second operand is not specified, the copy continues to the end of the current file.
- If the PP command is entered without parameters, the complete current page is written to the partial print file.

Example:

To print from line 100 to the end of the file, you would enter the following:
```
PL 100
```
To print from page 1 to page 10, you would enter the following:
```
PP 1 10
```
To print 100 lines starting from the cursor position, you would enter the following:
```
PL */100
```
To print all lines from the current page indicated by the cursor position, you would enter the following:
```
PP
```

PC—Permanently close the new spool file. If browse is terminated by END or RETURN, the close function is performed automatically.
