Page Numbering

[Murray Scholz]

Hi Jeff,

Not sure if I've missed the point here or not, but couldn't you use the
 RESET PAGE option on the sort/sorted statement, then just print plain
old
syspage in your page footer ???

eg. > access infile
    > sorted on studno reset page on invoice-line-no on ....
    > heading at studno skip page
    > report ......
    > page footer tab 50 "Page" syspage

The small example I tried here, it seems to do the correct thing for
multi-page
"invoices".
