The ASCII code for a formfeed is 12 so you should be able to embed that in a string as '\xC' I haven't tried it myself but it works for newlines and carriege returns.

I'm using a "format" statement to get the spacing just right on the output, but I can't get it to insert the form feed character at the end. I've tried setting the $FORMAT_LINES_PER_PAGE ($=) to 1, among other things, and nothing seems to work. When I print out the data, I still get the whole list on one page. Here's a little snippet of my code: $= =1; ### Format for output format EVAL_OUT= @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<< $full_name, $crse_numb, $seq_numb_ssbsect . select (EVAL_OUT); sub print_rec_to_output_file { write(); } Any and all help is appreciated.
