html form begin header [SOLVED]

Hi,
I have an HTML report which I am displaying using the -HTMLFORM BEGIN and -HTMLFORM END tags. I want to write some HTML at the header of this report, specifically within the HTMLFORM tags, but my header is always coming out at the very bottom of the report output.

-* Begin HTML Output
-HTMLFORM BEGIN

[my heading code]

!IBI.FIL.FILEA;

-HTMLFORM END
-RUN
-EXIT

I've tried this:

-* Begin HTML Output
-HTMLFORM BEGIN

<table><tr><td>
[my heading code]</td></tr><tr><td>

!IBI.FIL.FILEA;
</td></tr></table>
-HTMLFORM END
-RUN
-EXIT

And the heading STILL comes out at the very bottom of the page. Right now there is just plain text in [my heading code] and no style, etc that would force it to be at the bottom of the page.

FILEA's hold statement:

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML AS FILEA

Any suggestions?

Try:

ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE AS FILEA

Also, after the report displays, right click anywhere on the report and select View Source from the pop-up menu. Scroll down to bottom of the source output and you may discover the cause of the problem.

I've tried that and it does the same thing. Also, there is nothing odd about the HTML code. It would look like one had intended to put the header at the bottom of the page.

There is a focus error in there, possibly this could be it.
(FOC1517) UNRECOGNIZED COMMAND ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE AS FILEA
(FOC36225) UNABLE TO OPEN FILE FILEA SPECIFIED BY WEBFOCUS TABLE

What's wrong with my table, though?

TABLE FILE FINAL

ON TABLE SET SHOWBLANKS OFF
-* Only thing that will remove the gap at the top of this report
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOPAGE

PRINT  
RECEIVED_CODE AS ''
RECEIVED_DATE AS ''
RECEIVED_QTY AS ''
	BY PR_NUMBER NOPRINT
	BY ORDER_SEQUENCE NOPRINT
	BY ITEM_NUMBER NOPRINT 
SUBHEAD
"<ITEM_NUMBER> <ITEM_LINE_A>  "
SUBFOOT
"<DEND>"


END
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE AS FILEA
-RUN

The END statement must come after the ON TABLE HOLD statement.
