SUMMARY

To print a report with a footer that has a "Page # of #" format, you must use a user-defined function (UDF), as explained below.

MORE INFORMATION

Include the variable in the report where it is required: for instance, on the report layout, the footer would contain:


Page _PAGENO of _TOTPGS

where _TOTPGS is the variable.

Run the following code before the actual printing of the REPORT FORM statement, and you have the desired results:


***  Start code
_TOTPGS=0
REPORT FORM reportname RANGE 9000
_TOTPGS=_pageno
***  End code
