HEADING AT

[Michael Lee]

The obvious answer, which I'm sure you've thought of and have reasons not to do,
is to use PAGE HEADING. Now feel free to give me those reasons. The only obvious
one that comes to mind is getting that heading at the begining of your report
and perhaps at the end if you have a FINAL FOOTING on it's own page. If it is
the first problem you might want to try the following (untested) code:

DEFINE X = 1
SORT{ED} ON X ON....

PAGE HEADING .. &
           TAB 10 field1  &
           TAB 10 "      " PRINT AT X...

Hope that helps (and works)...
