Hi,
I have a report that contains over 10000 lines. I want all the lines to appear in one page.
SET LINES = 99999 is not working for me.
Is there some other setting?

Thanks.

What does "not working" mean? I just tried it for a simple HTML report with a table that has 11,000 lines and I only get the column titles once.

If you have BY statements with page breaks then you will not get one page.

If it's a PDF report, you will get column titles on every page.

If it's an Excel 2000 report you should only get the column titles once.

Please be more specific about the report and the output format.


Francis

As Francis states, it depends upon what "not working" means.

If you have over 99999 lines then of course it will not work as you specify a page size of 99999 lines. If you want continuous forms, without regard to the number of lines of output you have, then you must specify SET LINES = 999999 - a distinct difference to what you have.

If you read the documents then you will see that -
quote:
Sets the maximum number of lines of printed output that appear on a page, from the heading to the footing. Sets the maximum number of lines that appear on a logical page, from the heading at the top to the footing on the bottom. The value of LINES can range between 1 and 999999; specify 999999 for continuous forms. WebFOCUS will generate HEADING and FOOTING text after each group of lines as defined with the SET parameter.

It's all there in black and white (or black/blue and pale yellow if you use DS help Wink)
