Y
Specifies that the library puts a form feed control character as the first control character in a PRINT file, even if the first I/O statement to the PRINT file is a PUT SKIP statement. AUTOPAGE(Y) is the default.
N
Specifies that the library interprets the PUT option used. For example, if the first I/O statement to the PRINT file is a PUT SKIP statement, the library interprets the SKIP option; that is, a carriage return control character is used.
