RE: Printing Questions

You didn't specify printing a report using a report file or using O specs,
I'll answer using O specs.

1) Is there a way to print a footer on the bottom of each page?

Yes.  Same way your print a header in same spot.  Instead of setting your
overflow for 66 lines, or whatever, set it for 60 lines.  Then on OF print a
few blank lines, your footer, then print a page break (print on line 1 or
however you do it now) then print your header.

2) Is there a way to specify that a particular printed record should be on a
certain line? Like a total for an invoice should always be on line 60 for
instance. This line will be printed in 'top-to-bottom" order so I won't have
to print anything else up further on a page.

You can print things on a certain line using O specs specifying the line
number to print on instead of number of lines to skip.

3) Is there a easy way to say that this is "Page ? of ?" rather than that
this is "Page ?"

Not an easy way.  You have to calculate the total number of lines on your
report FIRST, and then divide by number of lines on a page to calculate
total number of pages.  There was a long discussion on this in the RPG list
a while back (a year or more ago) and you should find it in the archives.
The general consensus was, not an easy task.
