You are correct, mixing and matching POSITION() with location entries and
SPACEx() SKIPx() is tricky. In fact, you can't do it at all within a
single record.

Ideally, you should use POSITION() for everything...but I'll admit it's
easier to use SPACEA for the detail...

You're probably going to want a dummy record with a SKIPx() written prior
to the first detail to position the detail correctly.

You might also end up needing ENDPAGE()

That doesn't seem to help Gary. I'm thinking the issue may very well be
combining the Position keyword in the header section and using column
position in the detail.

Although I haven't figured out the right combination yet either.
