Absolute page number when using page MofN

[clevelandjwb]

Is it possible to track the absolute page number while using the page MofN feature ( and resetting the page number based on a certain grouping). We produce a large number of statements with one run of the report program. The report is about 2,000 pages and occasionally we need to reprint a page or restart the print job. It would be handy on the report to be able to print what Windows would recognize as the page number (i.e. sheet number) as well as the page 1 of 3 that goes on in each individual report.

Thanks

Dear Clevelandjwb,

To get the real "absolute" page number as you go along then you can do the following two formulas:

//formula 1
//placement: Report Header
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar actual := 0;
actual
//end formula 1

//formula 2
//placement: page footer

whileprintingrecords;
numbervar actual := actual + 1;
actual
//end formula 2

Hope that helps,

ro
