I haven't got my notes with me but I effectively made a large page to achieve this.
I created a printer defn file :

---

printer "vlong"

height 9999
width 180

after page control("")

return control(M)
linefeed control(J)

---

and told the designer it was a very long page. Beware this can impact on performance - Although I don't know why.
