Re: [sqr-users] Printing Dynamic variable in Header Brio SQR 8.1

[Don Mellen <donm@ontko.com>]

The "procedure=" is kind of a deprecated feature, existing for backwards
compatibility.  Better to use the "before=" and "after=" (which are also
more forthright in what they do).  Try something like....

begin-procedure get_data
begin-select
category &f1 () on-break print=never after=changefield save=$headingfield
element (,25)
from dm_flat_element
 ...
end-select

Also, remember that the heading prints *after* the body of the page, so
during processing, every new-page (explicit or implicit) is when the
heading actually gets fired, and it's for the previous page.

HTH,
Don
