The FILESET command sets the paging attributes of a specified fileunit.
FILESET fileunit attrib-arg1 exp1 [attrib-argN expN ...]
where attrib-arg is one of the following:
A fileunit number that is assigned to a file opened previously using a FILEOPEN statement or by an OUTFILE statement. You can set attributes only for an open file. An attribute argument specifies the file characteristic to change. The attribute must be appropriate for the fileunit specified; otherwise, Oracle OLAP returns an error. You can set several attributes in one FILESET statement by listing the attribute name and its new value in pairs.
Specifies the number of blank lines that constitute the bottom margin.
Specifies the current line number. Resets after each page break when PAGING is on; otherwise, keeps incrementing.
Specifies the maximum line length for text output files, or the record length for binary input files.
Specifies the type of system on which the file was created. The default value of the ORIGIN attribute reflects the system you are currently working on, so you must set ORIGIN when the file originated on a different system. The setting of ORIGIN affects how data reading statements interpret the files. For example, data reading statements use this information to decide whether bytes of binary data have to be reversed, and so forth. Table 9-8, "Values for ORIGIN Clause of FILESET" helps you make the right choice. When your system is not listed, try using PC or HP as the value of ORIGIN. When one value does not work, the other one should.

Specifies the current page number.
Specifies the OLAP DML program that produces page titles and headings when output is paged.
Specifies the number of lines on each page.
Specifies if the output is formatted in pages which is equivalent to setting the PAGING option to YES.
Specifies if Oracle OLAP should pause after each page.
Specifies if tab characters should be expanded. When TABEXPAND is zero, tab characters are not expanded. A value greater than 0 indicates the distance, in bytes, between tab stops. The default value of TABEXPAND is 8.
Specifies the number of blank lines that constitute the top margin.
An expression that contains the new value for the attribute being set. The data type of the expression must be the same as the data type of the attribute.
Example 9-132 Setting Paging for a Report
When you are sending output to a report in a disk file, you might set the following attributes to indicate that the report is organized in pages and that the first page is 1.
DEFINE fil.unit INTEGER
fil.unit = FILEOPEN('REPORT' WRITE)
FILESET fil.unit PAGING YES PAGENUM 1
