Summary: When generating a cross-reference listing with the /N switch, source lines longer than 80 characters wrap to a second line. However, because COBREF’s line counter counts the number of lines generated, the page eventually overflows. (Please note that COBREF is case sensitive in XENIX.) Page overflow also occurs when many long lines are present in any one of the variable listings. You can work around this problem by eliminating the preceding SPACEBAR character from the command line. Switches must not be preceded by spaces.
