Show Page Numbers on a Multi-Page Report Header

[MJRBIM]

CR-XI (R2)

I have a REPORT HEADER section that shows all the parameters that are entered at runtime.

I have the Page Number "X of Y" in both the REPORT HEADER A and PAGE HEADER sections.

In some cases, these parameter lists can be very long and run to over 3 pages.

This results in the Page Number "1 of Y" appearing at the start of the parameter lists, then nothing on Page 2 and 3 of the parameter lists.

The Page Number "4 of Y" is OK on all other pages, once the Multi-Page REPORT HEADER is completed.

Anyone have a smart way to show the Page Number on each-page of a Multi-Page REPORT HEADER...?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
Have you tried to use multiple lines for the parameter lists instead of 1 very long one? That might solve the problem. Try some of the methods here:

Turkbear :

I have re-posted to the OTHER TOPICS forum.

This issue isn't really about parameters. It would be the same if we had multi-page cross-tab(s) or chart(s) in the REPORT HEADER.

If a REPORT HEADER can run over multiple pages, how do we show the page number on each page of the REPORT HEADER...?

Thanks!

Have you tried using the "Horizontal Page Number" under Special Fields? After you insert that field, I think you have to also update its property setting to "Repeat on horizontal pages", or something to that effect.

Hope that helps!!

Sorry didn't read it properly, guess it was long vertically. I think there was a solution on Ken Hamady's site in setting up a dummy group and putting the data in that group header, that way you get the page numbering.

Here it is:

Maybe that'll help...
