LANSA allows up to 8 reports to be produced at any one time. All report definition commands have a FOR_REPORT parameter associated with them. This parameter defaults to 1 and is used to indicate which report the line definition is associated with. Any number in the range 1 -> 8 can be specified for this parameter.
In addition, each of the 8 allowable reports has a "special" field associated with it called REPnPAGE which can be used to print the page number on the report. The "n" indicates the report number with which the page number field is associated.
So, to expand the previous example to include a page number, all that is required is the following:
GROUP_BY NAME(#ACCOUNT) FIELDS(#COMP #DIV #DEPT
#EXPEND #REVNU)
DEF_HEAD NAME(#HEADING) FIELDS(#COMP #REP1PAGE)
TRIGGER_BY(#COMP *OVERFLOW)
DEF_LINE NAME(#DETAILS) FIELDS(#DIV #DEPT
#EXPEND #REVNU)
SELECT FIELDS(#ACCOUNT) FROM_FILE(ACCOUNTS)
PRINT LINE(#DETAILS)
ENDSELECT
ENDPRINT
This would now produce a two page report that looked something like the examples following.
Company 01 Page 1
Division Department Expenditure Revenue
1 ADM 400 576
1 MKT 678 56
1 SAL 123 6784
2 ADM 46 52
2 SAL 978 456
3 ACC 456 678
3 SAL 123 679
Company 02 Page 2
Division Department Expenditure Revenue
1 ACC 843 400
1 MKT 23 0
1 SAL 876 10
2 ACC 0 43
Note that REP1PAGE was used because, by default, report number 1 was used.
