•First the CRTPBSPLF command calls the PageBuilder program (specified by the PAGBLDPGM keyword) with parameter 1 = ‘STR’.

•Then the CRTPBSPLF command reads all pages from the input spooled file specified by the FILE, JOB and SPLNBR keywords.

•For every page in the spooled file the PageBuilder program is called having parameter 1 = ‘PAG’ and parameter DATA01-DATA10 equal to the data found on the active page according to the values for the DTAPARM keyword - unless you use *PAGE then the contents of the current page is transferred in an array 378 char wide by 255.

•The PageBuilder program now updates parameters (DATA01-DATA10) according to program logic - or the array if you use *PAGE.

•The CRTPBSPLF command creates a new page in a new SCS spooled file with the updated values (DATA01-DATA10).

•After processing all pages your PageBuilder program is called once more having parameter 1=’END’

The parameters of the command are these:

PAGBLDPGM	The PageBuilder program that the command is to call for each
	page.
DTAPARM	Use this to define each of parameters DATA01-DATA10. Insert a
	'+' in the first or last line to insert and define another DATA field.
	Each of the DATA fields are defined like this:
