I have tried to set a variable and have this value appear in the heading of my report. Example: month=@pseudo I can print this out on a page but the following report prints on the next page. How do I get it to print with the report?

John,

You might try the RLIST filename (SX) option to capture the source code for the report to the default RLIST DOS file, which will be created in your AREV subdirectory. Or use RLIST filename (X) to capture the source code to a file and id you name. Either way, you can modify and save the code - including HEADING and FOOTING information - compile and catalogue it, then run it from a menu, TCL or wherever.

Have fun.

John,

In a straight Rlist, you can insert the "breaking field" into the heading option by using the "B" option (e.g., BY XXX BREAK-ON XX "B"). In your Heading, you would say, for example,

HEADING"This is my report 'B'".

The only other way (that I can think of) is to incorporate the Rlist statement in a Rbasic program and define what goes into the Header, e.g.,

Head=this is a report for the date of ":Oconv(Date(),'D4-')

"….List FileName F1 F2 F3 Heading":Quote(Head)…"

See Ray Chan's post. You can also do something like:

In DICT.FILENAME or DICT.VOC if you want it global, create a symbolic named whatever (I'll call it FOO) that captures your @PSEUDO, eg IF LEN(@PSEUDO) THEN @ANS=@PSEUDO ELSE @ANS="

then

LIST yourfile fields-to-list BREAK-ON FOO "'B'" JUSTLEN "L#0" HEADING "'B' ANY OTHER TEXT .."

This will put a non-changing break-on value in the header that can be initialized anywhere..just don't use @RECORD. You coulc use @USER0 or something like that as well.
