Hi all - I've a few long reports (running into a couple of hundred pages) in HTML format.
I tried using the following options for better performance:

1. SET STYLEMODE= PAGED
2. ON TABLE SET WEBVIEWER ON

It looks like both the above options do the same thing- i.e. paginate a report by fetching data page-by-page from the webserver. In the Webviewer option, though, the user has an option to click on the 'next' button for the next page to be rendered on the browser.

Is my understanding regarding the above points correct ?

That said, I'd would be interested to know about server-side pagination of such reports. Does WebFOCUS offer any such feature/component wherein data is fetched from the database page-by-page. Which means that only if the user clicks on a, say, 'Next' button, should the data be fetched from the data server for the next page.

Do let me know if I'm missing any information here.

Thanks
Syed

1) yep, spot on.
2) don't know , but you could write a fex that way.

Thanks Susannah.
The fex, as you said, is certainly an option.
I was trying to unearth some cool feature which IBI might have included in the latest releases

Looks like I'm outta luck here

Back to the FOCUS code ...
