Hi,
I want to print page numbers at the bottom of every page based on a particular column Account Number in pdf and pf formats.

It should be like the following at the bottom of every page.Also the page should break based on the value of every Account Number.
Page 1 0f 18
Page 2 0f 18

What Release of WebFocus are you on?
I think this is what you are asking

BY ACCOUNTNO PAGE-BREAK REPAGE

This will get your page numbers...

HEADING
"TABPAGENO OF TABLASTPAGE"

Be sure to use the less than sign spot markers which always seem to be lost on replies. You would of course put the items in a footing and you can make it at the bottom of the page as well.

There is an issue with the mix of PAGE-BREAK REPAGE and the use of TABLASTPAGE.

The REPAGE sets the TABPAGENO back to 1, but TABLASTAPGE is for the total in the report, so you would get:
Page 1 of 18
Page 2 of 18
Page 1 of 18
Page 2 of 18
Page 3 of 18 etc.

There is not an easy way to get these figures into a SUBHEAD/HEADING and a SUBFOOT/FOOTING to show the number of pages within a sort break.

Hi Suji,

Have you got a chance to try Prarie and Leah's suggestions? Many thanks to Prarie and Leah. Smiler

You may also want to try the following:

BY ACCOUNTNUMBER PAGE-BREAK

this will cause a page break when the account number changes.

The following online document may be of interest as well:

Producing 'Page 1 of n' Reports

Hope this helps. Big Grin

Cheers,

Kerry

I've dug out an old program that did page renumbering on sort pages. This is the basis of it:
SET PAGE=OFF
DEFINE FILE CAR
CNTR/I9 WITH CAR = 1;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM  CNT.CAR WITHIN COUNTRY  NOPRINT
         MODEL
         BODY
COMPUTE  CNTR1/I9  = IF COUNTRY EQ LAST COUNTRY THEN CNTR1+1
                     ELSE 1; NOPRINT
COMPUTE  CNTR2/I9  = C1;     NOPRINT
BY       COUNTRY
BY       CAR                 PAGE-BREAK
ON CAR SUBHEAD
"Page <CNTR1 of <CNTR2"
ON CAR SUBFOOT
"Page <CNTR1 of <CNTR2 - (Page <TABPAGENO of <TABLASTPAGE total document pages.)"
END

You're welcome Prarie. And Alan, I like your example. I was trying to find an old example from our converion from production mainframe to WebFOCUS paging issues. This is good.

Perhaps this can help too, giving the possibility to put titles in subhead on every top of page as there is not yet setting like :

SET TITLEPOS=ONDATA that would put titles just above data and under SUBHEAD

EX :

-SET &NBRLINES = 22 ; :number of lines per page
DEFINE FILE CAR
CNT/I9 WITH CAR = CNT +1 ;
PGE/I9 = INT(CNT/&NBRLINES) + 1 ;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM LST.PGE NOPRINT
PRINT SALES
BY PGE PAGE-BREAK NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY
ON PGE SUBHEAD
" COUNTRY<+0>CAR"
ON PGE SUBFOOT
" PAGES : END

In fact you want a separate report per accountno.
Did you consider the use of reportcaster in Combination with the bursting value.

You send all the reports to the same mailadres (or FTP).

Well what Reportcaster in fact does is looping trough all the accountnumbers, print the report, save it, send it by email and jumps to the next account.

You can do the same, create a list of accountnumbers save that list in a alpha file.
-Read that file and create an &ACCNUMBER and &FILENAME
Run the report and save the PDF with that &FILENAME
loop to the next number and do the same proces till the end of the file.

How to loop?

It is here on focal point.

And please update your signature with version information.

It's terrible to have time on your hands. Big Grin I decided to see if I could come up with a real world example, though bursting with caster would have saved time. This is a listing of our courses by the department of record, develped in developer studio 7.6.2. Which I'm happy to see recognized column notation for the compute. Can't get code in there correctly on paste but the issue of course is the number of data lines on the page was used, and this can vary. I used 50 in my compute originally and it broke on a 99 count.
