[SOLVED] Dynamic Footer with page break

Hi
I have a report that is set to have a page break on the first sort field. I would like to add a dynamic footer that displays only on certain pages. I've tried reviewing the documentation and searching posts but have had no luck. I tried to accomplish this with setting a parameter but of course it only passes the field name and not the value for each page.

Here is an example of where I tried the parameters with the car file:

 -SET &ECHO = ALL;

-SET &COUNTRY = '<CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY';
-SET &FOOTER_C = IF '<CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY' EQ 'England' THEN '3. INSERT THIS NEW FOOTER - FOOTER C' ELSE '';

TABLE FILE CAR

SUM
     CAR.BODY.SALES
BY  CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY NOPRINT
BY  CAR.COMP.CAR
BY  CAR.CARREC.MODEL
ACROSS LOWEST CAR.BODY.SEATS

ON CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS '*TOTAL'
ON CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK
HEADING
"&COUNTRY"
FOOTING
"1. Footer A"
"2. Footer B"
"&FOOTER_C"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/warm.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
 


Are there any ideas on how to get a dynamic footer to show up on certain pages in a report that has a page break?
Thanks!
Cara

WebFOCUS doesn't know the value of the field before TABLE FILE. Consequently, you can't use -SET here. Maybe you can use something like this:

  
DEFINE FILE CAR
FOOTER1/A40= IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' THEN '3. INSERT THIS NEW FOOTER - FOOTER C' ELSE '';
END
TABLE FILE CAR

SUM
     CAR.BODY.SALES
BY  CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY NOPRINT
BY  CAR.COMP.CAR
BY  CAR.CARREC.MODEL
ACROSS LOWEST CAR.BODY.SEATS

ON CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS '*TOTAL'
ON CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK

HEADING
"<COUNTRY"
FOOTING
"1. Footer A"
"2. Footer B"
"<FOOTER1"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/warm.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
