In report Painter, I have selected the page heading to display the heading of the report and the parameters. The report title (USA Cars) should display on all the pages and the parameters should only display on the first page. I have used report heading for the parameters, but the parameters are displayed before the title of the report which is not working for me. Can anyone help?


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
'CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE'
'CAR.SPECS.WIDTH'
'CAR.SPECS.MPG'
HEADING
" "
"USA Cars"
" "
"BodyTye: &BODYTYPE"
" "
FOOTING
""
WHERE CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE EQ &BODYTYPE.(OR(FIND BODYTYPE,CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE IN car)).Body Type.;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF

There isn't any "built-in" syntax to get what you need. Heading ONLY displays EVERYTHING in the HEADING section at the top of EVERY page.
You may want to try putting the parameters into a SUBHEAD and see if that works like you need.

I have tried using SUBHEAD, this will display the parameters on top before the report heading or title. Is there any other way to have the parameters only on the first page.

I think the answers on this post cover what you wish to do

Conditional Report Header

A bit "sledge hammer and nut" job, but it works -

-SET &Parm1 = 'Parameter 1';
-SET &Parm2 = 'Parameter 2';
TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM RCOST   AS 'Retail Cost'
      DCOST   AS 'Dealer Cost'
      COMPUTE ParmLine1/A100 = IF TABPAGENO EQ 1 THEN 'Parm 1: &Parm1.EVAL' ELSE ''; NOPRINT
      COMPUTE ParmLine2/A100 = IF TABPAGENO EQ 1 THEN 'Parm 2: &Parm2.EVAL' ELSE ''; NOPRINT
   BY COUNTRY AS 'Country' PAGE-BREAK
   BY CAR     AS 'Manufacturer'
   BY MODEL   AS 'Model'
HEADING
"Worldwide Cars"
" "
"<ParmLine1"
"<ParmLine2"
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
  GRID=OFF, SIZE=9, $
ENDSTYLE
END

All,

I think this will work but how do I include it in the below report.
#
-IF &USEPI NE 1 GOTO SKIP_THIS;
"Proprietary Information"
-GOTO NEXT_1
-SKIP_THIS
"Report Name"
-NEXT_1
#

I need "Worldwide Cars" to print in all pages and
"World Counties: "Car Bodytype: &BODYTYPE "
" "
To print only on the first page

Thanks,
