When I run the code below for a compound PDF Report, I get a one inch gap between the bottom of the first report, and the top of the second report.

Does anyone know what I code I can use to remove this gap?


DEFINE FILE BASELINE1
SECTIONDATA WITH FACILITY_NAME/A1= '';
END

TABLE FILE BASELINE1
BY FACILITY_NAME NOPRINT

HEADING
"LMC SIP REQUEST FOR INFORMATION"
"Use tab key to move between fields"

WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 0

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, BOTTOMMARGIN=0,$

TYPE=HEADING,LINE=2,JUSTIFY=CENTER,STYLE=BOLD,SIZE=14,BACKCOLOR=RGB(210 210 210),$
ENDSTYLE

Try adding 
SET PAGE = NOLEAD
This usually removes two lines at the top, reserved for the default page number and is a vestige of mainframe FOCUS.

If you're using the default behaviour of page numbering, then add 
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
to the second report.

These are not working.

Where in my code do I put them?

What am I missing?

I did say "try" - I'm not sure if it will fix your problem.

ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
You may want to look into the Dev Studio Compound Layout tool which promises more precise layout...

Oh and this too

SET PAGE-NUM=NOPAGE

I believe you have to have both.

According to the manual, SET PAGE-NUM=NOPAGE is equivalent to SET PAGE=NOLEAD, but it might be a good idea to try both.

PAGE-NUM and PAGE are the same thing.

NOLEAD removes the most.

I did see an option I had not seen before, TOP.

The manual says this will remove the first two lines.

Use COMPOUND syntax (Devstudio Document Composer, PowerPainter, and InfoAssist in Compose mode all use the syntax). You do not need the latest tools. The syntax has been around for awhile (and improved regularly).
