Thanks.... >John Maddox (jmaddox@dbaix.oc.com) * OpenConnect Systems * Tel: 214-308-0476 Just FYI for others facing this dilemma: there is a new feature in 4.1 4GL that allows you to specify a character to use for page ejects and avoid blank line padding completely. Add a TOP OF PAGE "<char>" to your OPTIONS section. See Page S-48 in the 4GL 4.1 Supplement for details. -- Alan Denney aland@informix.com {pyramid|uunet}!infmx!aland This article posted using recycled electrons.
