[SOLVED] FOCNEXTPAGE not working?
I've got a compound PDF report where I generate some reports and include others. I use FOCFIRSTPAGE to set the page number for the first report that shows a page number (SET FOCFIRSTPAGE = 3) and that works fine, but then I have SET FOCFIRSTPAGE = &FOCNEXTPAGE before each of the includes for the next reports and it sets the page number to 10 every time. Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks.

It is a large compound report (about 450 lines!). Here's the piece where the page numbers are starting to be set including the in-line report before the includes:

Incurred/D12.2CM

ON TABLE SET SQUEEZE ON

Unless there's an intervening -RUN, I would expect all the references to &FOCNEXTPAGE to return the identical value (since none of the report code pushed to FOCSTACK has yet been executed when each in the series of
SET FOCFIRSTPAGE = &FOCNEXTPAGE
lines is scanned).
