Can R&R tell paper size?

Post by FRED_EMMERICH_(Guest) » Fri Jun 29, 2001 11:24 am

I have a report where I have monthly numbers and a yearly total below them. I have the report set up to count the number of years (or each group of 12 months) and after a certain number, I use a logical to control a page break. My question is: can R&R know whether I am on legal or letter size paper, so I can automatically adjust the numbers of years printed before I do the page break. For example, if letter, I would print 4 years and if legal, I would print 6. Can this be done? I am using 8.1 and EVENTUALLY will have this run from another application where I could pass all this in to the .dll. I am curious if this will work when running interactively.____Thanks,

There would not be a way that I know of to read the current page size value via a calculated field.__You would need to manually set the variable.____Kathleen__R&R Support

When you say "manually set the variable" do you mean using the Page Setup and changing paper size or is there a way to use an actual calculated variable?____Currently I^m maintaining 2 sets of reports: 1 for letter size and one for A4 size. It^s a bit of a hastle.____Pat__
