Dear All,

How do I suppress the first line in logical reports? I can't seem to do it as there is no option to set. Even if a main report function calls a logical report and the main report function has suppress first line set, the first line will still print out. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Suppress first line on a report (in the spooler options or @RFUNCT) stops the default line with the Function name, Date and Page Number being printed on a report.

This feature is activated after the Logic In at Function entry so it can be changed using @RPTOPT.

The only scenario I can think of where a nested LR would cause this to print would be if the LSCALL was in the Logic In at Function entry. If so, move the LSCALL to DEFAULT logic on LR1.

I haven't time to test this at the moment.

Dear Chris

Thanks for the reply, but I better clarify the situation. I have a screen calling a logical report. The problem is, I don't want the first line in this report to be printed. From what I see, there's no way to set "suppress first line" or go into the logic in of a logical report

Hi

I am not familiar with global report / logical report embedded within screens.

However I think that @RPTOPT can be set thru logic, that @RPTOPT is also a system varaible, try UMSG(@RPTOPT) to see what values are present in this field.

Put this logic into the lgc-in of a report function and see the values present, then toggle the suppress first lisne value and see how this value is changed in the @RPTOPT.

OR maybe there is some other variable that just controls this suppress first line feature ?

Search this form for @RPTOPT or Suppress

You talked about calling a Report from a Report, was that a mistake? In your last post you are talking about calling a Report from a Screen.

Is this Superlayer or VIP? Calling a Global Report from a screen is only supported in version 6 onwards I think. I don't know if Superlayer has some way of making this happen, if so it is probably hiding the $SPOOL screen.

I don't have Superlayer or Version 6 - so someone else may need to step in here - unless George's suggestion works. :-

V5.5 allows calling global report from screen - in VIP function properties - the spooler
tab allows suppression of 1st line. I don't have SL but if you can't get into the spooler
screen for your function type you can edit functdef directly to change the suppress
first line flag.
