Re: OFLIND Problems

If you have a possibility of a  12 line record printing 12 lines then you
need to set your overflow at somewhere about 48 to 52, depending on where
your overflow output prints.  

Once a detail record starts printing, it prints til done, even if there is
overflow.  In this instance I would suspect a 12 line record that started
printing on line 59 would print right down to line 5 of the next page, and
overflow would never activate for that page break. 

So, if you want your footer lines to print on, say, line 63 and 64, then
your 12th line must print no lower than line 62, which means you need to set
your overflow line at 51.  

(Don't confuse form length with overflow line, btw. )

But what would that cause problems for some of my other records? One
of them is 12 lines long. I tried manual paging but kept on getting an
overflow error.
