Hi,
I have a compound report that start at (.25 .125) position:

 COMPONENT='report 1', TEXT='', TOC-LEVEL=0, BYTOC=&BYTOC, POSITION=(0.25 0.125), DIMENSION=(8.5 11.0), METADATA='left: 0.3in; top: 0.3in; width: 10.5in; height: 7.464in; position: absolute; z-index: 1;', $ 

Sometimes the report is 1 page, sometimes it overflows to 2 or 3 pages. How do I make sure that when page overflows, it starts at POSITION=(0.25 1) Or 1 inch from the top of the overflow page?

I tried adding OVERFLOW-POSITION (0.25 1) but that did not work.



Here is the repro with the car file:

So page 1 starts at .125 inches from the top.
Page 2 is the overflow page, I need that page to start 1 inch from the top.
Page 3 is the "subfoot" page, which I was able to move 1 inch from the top with:

 TYPE=SUBFOOT,LINE=1,WRAP=7,JUSTIFY=CENTER,  POSITION=(1.7 1), STYLE=BOLD,SIZE=14,$ 

Page 4 starts at .125 from the top, which is good, thats what I want. And since it fits on the same page, there is no overflow. Page 5 is the "subffot" and it is correctly starts 1 inch from the top.

Page 6 and 7 is the same as 4 and 5.

I can not predict how many overflow pages each of my report will produce, but I need those overflow pages to start 1 inch from the top.

Thanks.

I apologize I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize no one had answered this. If it is still an issue please open a case with techsupport if you haven't already.
