Multiple logical pages on a physical page
Multiple BEGINs define multiple logical pages (a user-defined page
image bordered by top of form and bottom of form, left and right
margins) on one physical page (one side of a sheet). Up to 63 logical
pages may be defined per physical page. These logical pages may
be defined in any order on the physical page and placed on the
physical page in the order the BEGIN parameters appear in the PDE
command. The first BEGIN specified, whatever its physical position
on the page, is considered logical page one. Structure your variable
data in the same order that the logical pages are defined, using either
spacing or skipping printer carriage controls to move from one logical
page to the next. Generally, a skip-to-channel-1 parameter is the
easiest way to position to the next logical page. The following should
be noted:
Each online banner page is positioned as the first logical page
of a new physical sheet (if BANNER command parameter
TYPE=BANNER).
ROFFSET causes the logical page containing the matching
criteria to be the first logical page of a new physical sheet.
Page numbering occurs on each logical page rather than each
physical page.
Commands that specify line numbers, such as CRITERIA, VFU,
CME, and NUMBER, refer to the line on the current logical
page (ranging from TOF to BOF).
RTEXT is imaged on a separate physical sheet. Line and
column for positioning of the text refers to the first logical page
specified in the PDE.
RAUX criteria found on any logical page on the physical page
causes that sheet to be picked from the auxiliary tray.
Accounting statistics are accumulated on the basis of physical
pages.
If any logical page overflows the physical page before
encountering BOF, the next line is positioned to the first logical
page of the next side, and all subsequent logical pages are
repositioned on BEGIN.
With the exception of DEPT and SHIFT, all page-oriented
DJDEs are applied at a logical page boundary.
The following DJDEs, when applied, cause the current page
position to go to the first logical page of the front side of a new
physical sheet:

The following DJDEs when applied cause the current page
