I don't know of a DDS keyword that does what you describe.

However, you can specify an INFDS for the external printer file in your
RPG and define the data structure as follows (in ILE RPG):

     fExtPrtF        e             printer OFLIND(Overflow) 
     f                                     INFDS( prtfInfDs )

     d Overflow        s               n

     d prtInfDs        ds                  
     d   OvrFlw              188    189i 0                
     d   CurLin              367    368i 0                

OvrFlw is the overflow line and CurLin is the current line.
