RE: Printing blank pages
Posted in 1996
Looks like you're reporting to printer rather than to pipe. try something like start report your_rep to pipe "lp -dyour_printer -o necessary_options". For more info RTFM 4gl reference vol 1, ch 5 (report writing) and vol 2, (start report) HTH marco. ____________________________________________________________________________ rem radioterapia, which I immeritately manage, seldom agrees with what I say marco greco (Catania, Italy) Work: marcog@ctonline.it rem radioterapia 39 95 447828 fax 446558 (was mar.greco@agora.stm.it) Achea 39 95 503117 --- On Mon, 09 Sep 1996 15:45:53 +0100 SR <sean_rooney@bfs.unibol.com> wrote: Please, can anyone offer some advice. I am running Informix 4gl 7.x on a SCO Openserver box. My problem is that every report job that I send from Informix has a blank page appended at the bottom of the report. This is obviously environmentally unfriendly and nauseating for my users. I am not using the "eject page" or "skip to top of page" commands anywhere. If I print using "lp" from unix, no blank page is added. This has led me to believe that perhaps I can instruct Informix not to add this blank page. I would be grateful for any advice in relation to the above. Cheers, Sean. -----------------End of Original Message-----------------
