Hi,
When Merge is ON in PDF composer , the output for each "BY" value gets displayed in a separate page. For example when the below code is executed , the output for England displays on page 1 and France on page 2 and so on. There is lot of space in page 1 to accommodate another report. In this case is it possible to display the contents of England and France on the same page with the header section and so on? Is it possible to avoid the page-break with MERGE = ON?

SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON

Can anyone help me on this issue? I am using WebFOCUS 7.7.03.

Add RELATIVE-TO.

see the code below. I have RELATIVE-TO next to MERGE=ON.
