 Hi all ---

If I have:

1. A printer that has it's page length set to 62 lines per page
2. A .rpt that has $PAGESIZE 63
3. A rptgen -s61 was done against the program in Step #2

Which takes precedence when the report is actually run??? I'm thinking that #3 takes precedence over #2. But does #1 trump them all?

Unix
Oracle
Apps 8.0.3 MSP8
Env 8.0.3 ESP6

Thanks all once again,
Laura

 Yes, #1 trumps them all. Printer page size does rule. If the printer is set to 62 lines and you output a 63-line page, the printer will spit the first page out after 62 lines, then spit the 2nd page out after 1 line (the 63rd line).

In order to fit reports on single pages properly, without those annoying second pages, you have to have the number of lines in the report less-than-or-equal-to the number of lines the printer is programmed for. I hope that this helps.
