Hi, i am hainvg a compound report in PDF which has two reports to be showed with in it.

As of now i am using SET COMPOUND = OPEN to display the reports one after the other, and i have a footing on both the reports
"Pageof<+0>to display the page numbers on the report .But it is showing inncorrect page numbers, like if the complete report is of 3 pages is shows page numbers 1 of 2
2 of 3 and 2 of 1
Which is quite misleading in the PDF output especially.so if you can tell me where the issue it wud be grateful.Already existing posts on this in the forums didn't help much.Please suggest soon.

saggy,

Please use the new tool, PDF Layout Painter, to compound your reports. Then use a Page Master to set up the page numbers.

Not unless you want to count the pages yourself for each report and adjust as necessary when you get to the second one. You'd probably have to do multiple passes.

Why are you opposed to using the layout painter?

Try this Saggy: Here's a freebee for you that counts the pages in a compound report for you, and for those of us who want to code the text rather then use the GUI...

-SET &TOTALPAGES = 1 ;
-SET &HoldCounter = 0 ;
-SET &COMPOUNDCNT = 0 ;
-REPEAT COMPOUNDRPT 2 TIMES ;
-SET &COMPOUNDCNT = &COMPOUNDCNT + 1 ;
-SET &HOLDorPCHOLD = IF &COMPOUNDCNT EQ 1 THEN 'HOLD' ELSE 'PCHOLD' ;
-SET &ReportTitle 'Net Asset Valuation Overview Report             ' ;
-SET &PDF_HOLD = 'ON TABLE ' | &HOLDorPCHOLD | ' FORMAT PDF OPEN' ;
-TYPE *** DOING : &PDF_HOLD FOR THE TITLE PAGE
-INCLUDE REPORT01
-SET &PDF_HOLD = 'ON TABLE ' | &HOLDorPCHOLD | ' FORMAT PDF CLOSE' ;
-INCLUDE REPORT02 (last report)
-* DONE!

Within the REPORT1.FEX and REPORT2.FEX I use this line "&PDF_HOLD.EVAL" instead of a "ON TABLE PCHOLD [whatever]"

Let me know how it works out for you...

Hi Doug,
thanks for the code,its giving the total number of pages correctly but in my report i need to display in the footing sm thing like [Current Page num] of [Total Pages] means if the compound report has 5 pages. The page 1 shld have footing Page 1 of 5.I am sending the same code again can u do the required modifications to show it up correctly.Because the second page of the report shows page 2 of 1 becuase the 2nd report is for 1 page only.

-SET &TOTALPAGES = 1 ;
-SET &HoldCounter = 0 ;
-SET &COMPOUNDCNT = 0 ;
-REPEAT COMPOUNDRPT 2 TIMES ;
-SET &COMPOUNDCNT = &COMPOUNDCNT + 1 ;
-SET &HOLDorPCHOLD = IF &COMPOUNDCNT EQ 1 THEN 'PCHOLD' ELSE 'PCHOLD' ;
-SET &ReportTitle = 'Net Asset Valuation Overview Report ' ;
-SET &PDF_HOLD = 'ON TABLE ' | &HOLDorPCHOLD | ' FORMAT PDF OPEN' ;
-TYPE *** DOING : &PDF_HOLD FOR THE TITLE PAGE
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY SALES
FOOTING
"&ReportTitle"
"Pageof<+0>&PDF_HOLD.EVAL
END
-SET &PDF_HOLD = 'ON TABLE ' | &HOLDorPCHOLD | ' FORMAT PDF CLOSE' ;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY SALES
FOOTING
"Pageof<+0>&PDF_HOLD.EVAL
END
-* DONE!
