RE: Page Line Length

could you set the page length to 66 and put a NEED var LINES in the ON EVERY ROW section? before the report (assuming, of course, you know what kind of printer you're using) set it to 9 if you're using a laser printer and a 1 if you're using a line printer. that way, on row 58 the report will think it needs 9 lines (67 total for the page), and skip to the next page. with page headers/trailers you may have to adjust the value to get it right, though. -joe- (huddles@hasting.com) ---------- From: ilist To: informix-list Subject: Page Line Length Date: Sunday, October 29, 1995 12:43AM I'm a new kid to the the Informix world. My group is just learning about 4gl and all it's tricks. Having lived in the Pick world for many years, its quite and adjustment. Now for the question: How do you write one report which will run on a lazer printer (57 print lines) or a line printer (66 lines) without replicating the entire report section? At first thought and IF statement around the PAGE LENGTH statement would seem proper, but to no avail. Any ideas would be appreciated.
