<p>In a print control system for use in printing a sequence of variable length data to form a report having a plurality of partial print areas, the variable length data sequence (11) is divided into a plurality of partial data sections which are related to the partial print areas and which might leave blank one or ones of the partial print areas on the report due to shortness of the variable length data sequence. Physical or actual allocation of the variable length data is suppressed to the blank partial area or areas by an allocation section (22) under control of an allocation control section (21) when suppression of the allocation is indicated by a program controller (13) and is given to the allocation control section. The allocation control section becomes active to send an allocation control signal to the allocation section only when the suppression of allocation is received. Such suppression may be described in a nonprocedural language.</p> |
