Re: Problems with reports

Hi Guido! Informix processes your "AFTER GROUP OF" ... then "SKIPs TO TOP OF PAGE" (*within* your after group of) ... has to do a PAGER HEADER (*still within* your after group of) ... and *THEN* fetches the NEXT CUSTOMER ... ... so you will get the effects that you get! You have to put your "SKIP TO TOP OF ROW" in a "BEFORE GROUP OF" section! or do the AFTER/BEFORE clause by yourself like: FIRST PAGE HEADER let newpage=1 ON EVERY ROW if customer<>old_customer and newpage<>1 then begin print "TOTAL OF OLD CUSTOMER", total let newpage=1 skip to top of page let old_customer=customer end if newpage=1 then begin print "YOUR" print "PAGE HEADER" let newpage=0 end print "YOUR CUSTOMER DATA" let total=total+... ON LAST ROW print "TOTAL OF OLD CUSTOMER", total skip to top of page hope this helps for the first. best regards rick Guido Cirilli wrote: > > I have this report situation: > > ...... > ORDER BY <key of customer> > ...... > PAGE HEADER > <Header of customer> > > EVERY ROW > <row of customer> > > AFTER GROUP OF customer > <totals> > SKIP TO TOP OF PAGE > > I need a header in every page regarding the general data of the customer > (like address etc.), so i need a "PAGE HEADER" section. > Then i have to print all data regarding the customer (EVERY ROW section). > Then, when the customer changes (AFTER GROUP) i have to print totals and to > pass to another new page (SKIP TO TOP OF PAGE). > But, at this point, i observed that in the new page header it prints the > old customer data!
