Re: [sqr-users] Having trouble with negative line positioning

Ray,

Thanks for the reply -- it works!

The only problem I have now is when I have so many rows that it splits over 
a page:
  (SQR 5402) String cannot be placed on page:
-- placement specified is out of range.  (-24,0,0)

The line number it specifies is the "position (+#num_in_type)".

So obviously the text needs to start on the previous page, but I can't find 
anything like 'previous-page' in the docs.  I think I might be sunk and 
have to include it later on in the report as a legend or a footnote, 
although we like the idea of having it off to the right.

Do not meddle in the affairs of SQR,
for it is subtle and quick to anger!
