Form multi values print limited to MV rows set in Form Paint (AREV Specific)

I am working in AREV32 running as a CTO standalone in OI 9.0.
I have a simple form report with a header row and multi-valued detail rows that include some columns that are symbolics. My problem is that the number of rows that I show in the form paint limits the number of rows that print in OIPI. I read in a 1999 posting that there is a depth parameter that can be set, but I can't find it in the AMV group setting window. What do I need to do to have it print the toal number of MV rows?
Thanks,
Jim

Write a symbolic that counts the MV rows in the current record, then print/total from this.
There comes a point where the Ad-hoc list generator fails as a report writer, and you have to resort to bespoke programs to generate reports. In fact- if I recall - there was a run-time option to generate an RBASIC program from any list statement - which you could then "tailor".
Understand that you can't keep trying for continually expanding functionality from the list generator. At some point there's a maintainability threshhold and you then should decide a report program would be simpler.

Thanks Eric. I agree with your last statement. After a week of working with various tools in List, Form, Direct_Print, Set_Printer, HPPCL, OIPI, CTO_RUNWIN… I went back to coding.

I believe you are talking about the "(X)" option. this will cause LIST to save generated RBASIC code to the SYSOBJ file. I think it is the SYSOBJ file.

Why not use MERGE/MAKEMERGE?
