PRB: Cannot Use _PBPAGE or _PEPAGE to Control Pages for Report

ID: Q140222

3.00 WINDOWS kbprg kbprb

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The system variables _PBPAGE and _PEPAGE do not control the range of pages in the REPORT FORM command. Further, using this expression:

   REPORT FORM <XXX> FOR _PAGENO > 2 .AND. _PAGENO < 4

does not produce the desired range of pages. However, if you do not specify a beginning range, the correct number of pages is printed. Currently, there is no way to specify a range of pages to be printed in a report.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create and save a report using the Report Designer.

2. Create a program that contains the following lines:

   PRINTJOB
     _PBPAGE = 2
     _PEPAGE = 4
     REPORT FORM <name of report> PREVIEW
   ENDPRINTJOB

3. Save and run the program. All pages of the report print.
