I am trying to put some information on the bottom of a report on the first page only. I tried using SUBFOOT ... when tabpageno eq 1, but that didn't work. Does anyone any other suggestions?

I am currently using 5.2.1

Thank you Prarie, but it doesn't work for me. When I add the WHEN clause my subfoot doesn't appear anywhere.

Take out the " in front of the Sum...sorry about that. Should work then.

Sorry for taking a while to get back. I knew to remove the " from in front of the sum, but I was using a PRINT which doesn't seem to work even in your example. I tried to use a SUM, but it doesn't like my second BY field. Thank you for trying.

Lana,

Here's a way to trick it, I think.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL BODYTYPE STANDARD
COMPUTE
COUNTER/I5 = COUNTER + 1; NOPRINT
COMPUTE
FOOT1/A15 = IF COUNTER LT 70 THEN 'Footer line 1' ELSE ' '; NOPRINT
COMPUTE
FOOT2/A15 = IF COUNTER LT 70 THEN 'Footer line 2' ELSE ' '; NOPRINT
FOOTING
""END

I tested this with a local file, but there does not seem to be enough data in CAR to get to a second page. Here's the idea: The footing prints on all pages. It's just blank on all but the first page, because counter will be > 70 on all other pages. Be sure to pick a number for which that statement is true! I used COMPUTE instead of DEFINE because it would do not good to assign a count to each record before the data is sorted (I didn't sort here, but you get the idea).

Lana,

I just noticed part of my post was truncated. Here's how the code should have read:


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL BODYTYPE STANDARD
COMPUTE
COUNTER/I5 = COUNTER + 1; NOPRINT
COMPUTE
FOOT1/A15 = IF COUNTER LT 70 THEN 'Footer line 1' ELSE ' '; NOPRINT
COMPUTE
FOOT2/A15 = IF COUNTER LT 70 THEN 'Footer line 2' ELSE ' '; NOPRINT
FOOTING
""END

Ok, obviously upper quotes does something funny. The FOOTING should look like
FOOTING

except that the two lines below FOOTING should both be encased in upper quotes

Ok, let's try again:

FOOTING
FOOT1
FOOT2

except that the two lines below FOOTING should both be encased in upper quotes, and FOOT1 and FOOT2 should be preceded by left caret (less than sign). I'm going to have to get more familiar with how these posts work.

Thank you both for your suggestions. The compute solution that dwf offered worked just fine. Thank you again.

DWF, simply click on Options and check the Disable HTML check-box.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL BODYTYPE STANDARD
COMPUTE
COUNTER/I5 = COUNTER + 1; NOPRINT
COMPUTE
FOOT1/A15 = IF COUNTER LT 70 THEN 'Footer line 1' ELSE ' '; NOPRINT
COMPUTE
FOOT2/A15 = IF COUNTER LT 70 THEN 'Footer line 2' ELSE ' '; NOPRINT
FOOTING
"FOOT1"
"FOOT2"
END

TABLE FILE CAR

ON COUNTRY SUBFOOT
"HERE IS MY FOOTING TEXT--> ONLY ON PAGE TWO"
WHEN TABPAGENO = 2
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=FOOTING, COLOR=WHITE ,WHEN=SALES GT 30000, $

END

And this works on my 5.3.2 server.
