suppress printing

I have multiple sections in Report Header, multiple sections in Page Header and Details. There is currently no grouping. I want to print my Report Header (which may be 1 or more pages) then print the rest of the report BUT I want to suppress one section in the Page Header after it's first page. This (it's) could be page 3 - depending on how big the Report Header is. I only want to print this Page Header once.

I didn’t test this, but try the following. Create two formulas:

//{@false} to be placed in a report header section and suppressed:
Whileprintingrecords;
Booleanvar flag := false;

//{@true} to be placed in a page header section inserted after your LAST one (you can suppress this PH section).
Whileprintingrecords;
Booleanvar flag := true;

In the section expert, select the page header section you want to suppress after its first occurrence->suppress->x+2 and enter:

Whileprintingrecords;
Booleanvar flag;
Flag = true; //note no colon
