Is there a setting/technique to ensure that the footing can be printed on the tabfooting page, in the scenario that there is a page break to get to the tabfooting page? I want to be able to get the footing component (CSS included) to print on the last page that contains the tabfooting.

Here is a simple example:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK

FOOTING
"Footing Page <TABPAGENO "

ON TABLE PAGE-BREAK AND SUBFOOT
"End of Report: Subfooting Page <TABPAGENO "

END

Note that the footing appears at the bottom of every page except the last one. I want it on the last one too. I don't want to remove the PAGE-BREAK in the ON TABLE component, plus I don't want to copy the FOOTING text into the SUBFOOTING component.

Thanks,
Sean

Unfortunately that didn't do the trick Kamesh.

Thanks,

Kamesh,

This did work, but by switching the order of the PAGE-BREAK and the SUBFOOT, ie:

ON TABLE SUBFOOT AND PAGE-BREAK instead of
ON TABLE PAGE-BREAK AND SUBFOOT

the tabfooting is on the same page as the last footing page (along with the data of the last page).

But I am hoping to be able to get the footing page on the same page as the tabfooting page, but all on a new page. So there would be no data on the last page (just the tabfooting text, followed by the footing text).


Thanks very much for your suggestions!
Sean

Prarie,

The SET PRINTPLUS=ON doesn't do what I need unfortunately.

I need output like this:

data
...
...
Footing Page 5

End of Report: Subfooting Page 6

Footing Page 6

I can't get the last part (Footing Page 6), on a new page after all the data has been output.

Anybody know if this is possible, or is this a WebFocus limitation that I have to live with?

Thanks,
Sean

I'm not sure whether we can achieve this through some Webfocus syntax. Tried it through code and it seems working but still I'm not sure whether it serves your purpose. check this code and let me know.

-SET &ECHO='ALL';

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEST
END
-RUN



DEFINE FILE TEST
CNT/I2=IF COUNTRY EQ LAST COUNTRY THEN CNT ELSE CNT +1;
CNT1/I2=IF COUNTRY EQ LAST COUNTRY THEN 0 ELSE 1;
END

TABLE FILE TEST
SUM CNT1
ON TABLE SAVE AS TEST1
END
-RUN

-READ TEST1 &CNT1.I2
-RUN

TABLE FILE TEST
HEADING
"TEST"
PRINT CAR MODEL BODYTYPE
CNT
BY COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK
BY CNT NOPRINT
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON COUNTRY
SUBFOOT
"Footing Page <TABPAGENO"
"End of Report: Subfooting Page <TABPAGENO "

WHEN CNT EQ &CNT1
SUBFOOT
"Footing Page <TABPAGENO"
WHEN CNT NE &CNT1

ON TABLE PAGE-BREAK AND SUBFOOT
"Footing Page <TABLASTPAGE"
END

-EXIT

Kamesh,

Wow, quite the effort... thanks!

That's close to what I was looking for, except that the tabfooting should also be on page 6, not page 5. But I must say I was looking for a simple single TABLE FILE solution if it existed.

Thanks again for your effort!
Sean
