I am working with our registrar's office to 'clean up' a report that will generate multiple blank lines, (sorry McGyver won't work easily here, though I may try that route as a very last resort). I utilize a subhead and then subfoots to report the information with a data line that just supplies one bit of information on a course. If I select HTML, DOC or EXL2K (though ughly in EXL), it creates page breaks as would be expected and does the subheads and subfoots as desired. However if I switch to PDF, with orientation of landscape, the subhead and detail is on one page the subfoot is on the top of the next page and then the next subhead and detail then it pages and does a subfoot for the previous. I searched on the tech support sight, but nothing stood out as similar. Has anyone else had this problem? Oh and it does the same whether I am on 7.1.4 or 5.3.6.

Leah,

Two suggestions:

1) Look into the NOSPLIT keyword. Put it on the sortfield on which the SUBHEADs/SUBFOOTs are done.

2) Try adding SET PRINTPLUS = ON to your request if you do not already have it set.


Thanks!

Mickey

Thanks, I had tried the nosplit, adding the printplus = on fixed the problem, now to the next clean up phase. Learn something new every day. Thanks to mcgrackin.
