First, I can't imagine a report that actually needs page breaks every 32767
lines. But everybody has some weird requirement so I'll just trust that you
need it.

But my real thoughts have to do with "page length 0" -- at least in the X.X9
versions. Setting the page length to zero generates a single set of page
headings at the start of the output and then just rolls on forever. Very
useful for Excel extracts, etc. Would this meet your needs? Or is this not
available in your version?

Regards,
JWP

Is there / could there be a patch to increase this limit to 32767, or 65535,
or even a nice large number ?

I'm guessing that somewhere inside quiza710g3.exe is a number (or numbers) I
could patch to significantly reduce this irritation. Anyone able to tell me
where it is ?
(search finds 11 instances of 10000, & 4 of 9999). I suppose I could try
each one in turn, then each combination of 2, etc, etc, but there's a
significant risk of introducing quite subtle bugs by that approach, and a
lot of combinations to try.
