Example of writing with automatic page variables

This SAS^© code illustrates how to generate a simple report using a DATA step and the FILE statement. It configures the 'print' output file with page and line size parameters (ps=50, ls=80). A DO loop is used to write 100 lines of text. Each line includes information about the page number (PAGNO), the current line number (LIN), and the number of lines remaining on the page (LINLEFT), all automatically derived by SAS^©.

No external data is used. The script generates output text for demonstration purposes, using automatic variables from the SAS system.

DATA STEP

Explanation :
This DATA _NULL_ block does not create a SAS dataset but is used to direct output to the 'print' file. The FILE statement with options ll, line, page, ps, and ls activates and configures the automatic pagination and line variables. The DO loop executes the PUT statement 100 times, which writes a formatted text line, including the values of the automatic variables for page, line, and remaining lines.
