Placing image on 2nd page of PDF report [SOLVED]

I have a PDF report and I wish to place an image on the 2nd page. I thought I could use this...

TYPE=TABHEADING,
IMAGE=(Box_Img),
POSITION=(0.0 11.25),
SIZE=(1.5 0.5),
$

... to force the image onto the 2nd page. Changing the value of x.xx in POSITION=(0.0 x.xx) allows me to move the image up and down on the 1st page, but if x.xx exceeds 7.25 (to force it down), the image disappears and does not appear on the 2nd page.

Any clues?

Thanks,
George

I would COMPUTE a field and then use it in a WHEN statement, something like this:

COMPUTE IMG_FLAG/A3 = IF TABPAGENO EQ 2 THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO'; NOPRINT

...

TYPE=TABHEADING,
IMAGE=(Box_Img),
POSITION=(0.0 0.25),
SIZE=(1.5 0.5),
WHEN=IMG_FLG EQ 'YES',
$

No guarantees as I didn't try it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work EXCEPT for the fact that there is only one TABHEADING ( a report heading, it only appears at the top of the first page). Try HEADING with my suggested code.

Thanks Francis,

I tried your suggestion, using both TABHEADING, and changing to HEADING, but was not successful. The file is somewhat complex, so your solution may have gotten "lost" in the complexity and may have worked in a simpler file.

To save time, I broke the report into a compound report of 2 pdfs each representing a different page. That solved my problem since the signature on the "second" page is really on a first pdf page, if that makes sense.

I'm intrigued by seeing a WHEN clause in the style sheet. I going to explore this more when I get time.

Thanks again for your suggestion,
George

George,

Here's a working example. I neglected to mention that any field used in a WHEN clause must be included in the report, including TABPAGENO.

-* File when1.fex

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
TABPAGENO NOPRINT

BY COUNTRY 
BY CAR
BY MODEL

ON COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK

HEADING
" "
" "
"CAR SALES"
" "

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING, WHEN=TABPAGENO EQ 2, COLOR=RED, $
TYPE=HEADING, WHEN=TABPAGENO EQ 2, IMAGE=trillium0.gif, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Thanks for the example.

Gives me something to play around with and hopefully learn from.

Just curious, did you get this tip from a book? I'd be interested in the title.
