Summary |
This is the number of pages which a frame will be copied to by the autocopy in a format. When a frame is to be copied to a new page because of autocopy, a frame page life can now be specified. This is the number of new pages to which a frame will be copied. So for example, a frame can be auto copied to 5 pages only. |

Syntax
|
num:n
|
num:n |
Number of pages which a frame will be copied to by autocopy in the format. |
A frame can also be copied to new pages until a kill command is encountered. There is also a page kill command so that the frame is only killed on the page containing the command. |
To kill a frame that is being copied, use the command <?frame kill "fname">. Therefore the frame must have a name. |
If a frame is to be copied until a kill command is encountered then set the page life to a large value, for example, 99999. |
![]() |
If a kill command is the first thing on a page then the frame will be killed on that page and all remaining pages. If the kill command is not first on the page, the frame will still be created on that page and killed on all subsequent pages. |
If a frame is created and killed immediately, it will appear on that page, but not any subsequent pages. |
To kill a frame for one page only, use <?frame page-kill "fname">. This will only work if the frame has a page life set. |
