Dear Friends,__ This is my first post but I^ve been using R&R refgularly since 1990. I^m *still* using R&R 6.1a (the DOS version), but own 8.1 and will buy 9.x one of these days BUT for now have a Title Page problem:____ I would like to suppress printing of certain lines on the Title Page based on empty values in data or calculated fields.____ For example, here is a typical Title Page:____Restrictions From To__ Employee Nos.: V1243 V4356 (This Should print)__ Job Nos.: (Empty) (Empty) (Do Not Print Line) __ (etc)__ __ I have many parameter settings. Some are wide open and some are restricted. My user only wants to see *only* those parameters which have some restriction placed (by her) when she starts up the report run.____ Of course, I know that body and Group lines can be suppressed (but what about the same feature for Title LInes.____TIA,____-Mel Smith__

Sorry, I meant I had version6.0a -- the last great DOS release for R&R.____ I congratulate the Liveware people for a superb site. I hope they succeed in selling me Version 9.0 (but I am so damn happy with 6.0a ...)____-Mel__

You can use a logical condition to control a title band but you need to consider that the title is evaluated only at the start of the report as we are just reading the first record.__If you need it to depend on records that happen later on, you would need to create a preprocessed conditional total so that the info could be available at the start of the report.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____ Thanks for the guidance on conditional printing.____ No, my title lines depend on a one-record parameter file. The fields all have names like: startjob, endjob, etc. If both the startxxx, and endxxx are empty, then I want to NOT print the line at all.____ I guess I^ll have to make a logical print condition for each of the restriction lines (up to 10) on the title page.____Thanks again,____-Mel Smith__
