Heading
How to not print the heading info on every page but at every new record from the database.

Currently the heading prints on every page, but if a page full of data spans over to two page the heading will print on the second page which we do not want.

is there a way to do this. don't tell me to try subhead, because we tried it the problem is that subhead prints the subhead data after the field titles of of the report.

I would print all the fields as '' which does not print the columns and then use the subhead like you said.

Change the name of the column headings to blank using the AS phrase.

Then use SUBHEAD where the last line of the SUBHEAD contains the column headings.

The drawback is that you will have to play with the spacing to get column headings to line up with the data. If you change the order of the columns, you must remember to change the last line of the SUBHEAD.

That is the problem, I am doing that with the subhead, but what happening is that the subhead text heading does not align up with all the records, since the table width changes for each record.
What if you set the lines to a high value and then do a page-break whenever you need it to break?
So, for instance SET LINES=9999 and in the request a BY BREAKFIELD PAGE-BREAK.

Hope this helps....

If you set your output to always be PDF then you can position objects in the subhead over the columns.

Have you looked into the WF stylesheet tag HEADALIGN=BODY?
