Hello

how to center a table over several pages?

Suppose the following code:

----
\def\TAB{%
   \bTABLE[split=repeat]
     \bTABLEhead
       \bTR
         \bTH head1 \eTH
       \eTR
     \eTABLEhead
     %
     \bTABLEbody
       \dorecurse{40}{%
         \bTR
           \bTD body \eTD
         \eTR
       }
     \eTABLEbody
   \eTABLE
}

\starttext
   Table 1:

   \midaligned{\TAB}

   \page
   Table 2:

   \startalignment[middle]
     %\dontleavehmode%
     \TAB
   \stopalignment
\stoptext
----

Table 1 is centered in the page, however both parts of the table are placed next to each other (unwanted).

If I use \startalignment instead \midaligned (table 2), the table is not centered on the page (also unwanted), even if I uncomment the \dontleavehmode.

So - how to center a long table on every page it is printed on?

TIA.

Lukas
