Re: any way to jump BACK a page?

["Lynds,Rick" <rlynds@MWDH2O.COM>]

As I understand it, an entire page is held in memory until going to the next
pages forces it to flush.  Once a page is flushed, there is no going back.
I like Steve's response about doing the work in arrays for this sort of
formatting.

Hi all,

Is there any command that allows you to jump back a page in SQR?

I'm printing a report that displays columns of data with subtotals at
the bottom of each column.  ie

Group1:
Earnings                                Taxes
1                               1
2                               2
3                               3
4                               4
5                               5
6                               6
7
8
9
--                              --
total A                         total B

Every time I start a new group, I simply note the #current-line and
then use the position command to jump back to the start of the column
before printing the next column.  The only problem is if one of the
columns extends to the next page.  Then my results end up looking like:

Group 1
Earnings
1
2
3
...
65
66
------------------page break-----------------
67
68
69
--
Total A
                        Taxes
                        1
                        2
                        3
                        4
                        5
                        --
                        Total B

I'd like the SQR to be able to jump back to the original start page.
Is this possible?

Thanks!
