Really, the report should print 4 pages but if you compile the program in p-code all the rows are printed in one page and only the last 'skip to top of page' is executed. Can you believe it? If you compile it in c-code the program runs well. -- begin of code MAIN START REPORT example_report TO "lm1.txt" OUTPUT TO REPORT example_report(1,1) OUTPUT TO REPORT example_report(1,2) OUTPUT TO REPORT example_report(1,3) OUTPUT TO REPORT example_report(2,2) OUTPUT TO REPORT example_report(3,3) OUTPUT TO REPORT example_report(4,4) FINISH REPORT example_report END MAIN REPORT example_report(item1, item2) define item1 decimal(2,0), item2 decimal(2,0) output left margin 0 right margin 80 top margin 1 bottom margin 1 page length 66 order external by item1, item2 format page header print "------------------------------------------------------------" print " PAGE HEADER" print "------------------------------------------------------------" before group of item1 skip to top of page on every row print "item1: ", item1, " item2: ", item2 page trailer print "----------------------- PAGE TRAILER -----------------------" END REPORT -- end of code ------------------------- Luis M.
