Re: Print Total Pages in Report

[Douglas Handy <dhandy1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

>Are you a programmer or just make up excuses to not do things?

I'll be diplomatic and just point out my reply was to this proposed method:

>Wow ... why not just take the total number of records to be processed and 
>divide it by the number of records printed to a page?

Hopefully by now you've thought about it and realized the fallacy in that
proposal.  If not, I strongly recommend you read the thread others have pointed
to in the archives.

>Your program is going to print a detail and total line for a reason, when 
>that reason happens ADD 2 TO THE COUNTER.

>Duh...

Are you suggesting a two-pass approach to determine "when that reason happens"
or an algorithm (Select count(*) ...???) in *INZSR to calculate how many times
the "reason" happens?  Either way, we've already moved away from your original
proposal, which is exactly the point -- the original proposal doesn't always
work.  If you read the referenced thread, you'll see it is not as simple as your
second proposal either.

Shall I continue to beat this dead horse?

Neigh, neigh, I say.

Doug
