Using 'COMMAND' to achieve page break

In some cases user will ask only specific number of records should be displayed per page, but based on space availability of main window data will populate. To restrict manually the number of records displayed per page we can use COMMAND.

7. In cell 5 i.e first column, create a code by right clicking on that cell->create->flow logic->programming lines

8. In that code, write the following code and pass variables to output parameters

Cell5 = &GV_NO&

Cell6 = &GS_KNA1-KUNNR&
