Before and After pages

You can use Before and After pages for different purposes. You can, for example, use a Before page as a cover sheet. You can create as many Before and After pages as you like. The pages will be added to the output in the same order as you create them in the PageOUT tool. Note that Before and After pages cannot contain frames.

Renaming a page

All Before and After pages initially have the default name Other. To change the name you must:

1	Select the tab for the page you want to rename.

2	In the Process view, select the name in the root node and enter a new name.

Disabling a page

The page will by default be added to the output. To disable the page from the output you must:

1	Select the tab for the page you want to disable.

2	In the Process view, right-click the root node and select Edit Script. The Script editor opens.

3	Enter the following Before script: Skip();

Using variables

You can use variables below the root node in the Message view, and variables created by before Message or before Process scripts. For example, you can use these variables together with the Skip function to select different Before pages.

Dynamic number of Before and After pages

You can create a dynamic number of Before and After pages by using the scripting function NewPage in a Before script attached to an object on a page.

OutputLXFJobResource(num($jobid),"statementattach",num($cnt));

$cnt++;

if (num($cnt)<=num($attpages))

    newpage();
