Hi All,

We're trying to format a report where the report breaks on a new page, physically, when a column has a new value...

We set the Newpage to 0, but it always prints a blank page before the report and in between all the pages until it gets to the new column value then it prints to a new page.

Has anyone ever run into this? How did resolve it?

Thanks!

AB

Sorry, I should have specified that we already have that line in our report...

Break on <column> skip page

It's working to a degree, what we'd like to get rid of are those extra blank pages we're getting when we run the report.

??

Thanks AB

Maybe you just can't avoid of them.
Use an extra and external program (like sed) to get rid of them.

You can't avoid the first one, but setting
SET PAGESIZE 50000
or
SET PAGESIZE 0
will help with the intermediate breaks.

Note that you never get intermediate page breaks with PAGESIZE 0, but nor do you get column headings.
