Re: Page 1 of -1

I have seen something similar to this where I have an error
that occurs in the begin-heading or begin-footing section.
Apparently the error handling is a little different there
than in a normal procedure.

I first noticed the problem when doing a STOP QUIET
after using PRINT to print a message to the report
file telling the user they had entered an invalid
parameter value.  The PRINT then caused the begin-heading
to fire (it always runs after a page is generated) and then
in the heading I did a USE-COLUMN, but hadn't defined
COLUMNS yet.  I got a similar problem when I forced
other runtime errors to occur in the begin heading
(GRAPHIC () HORZ-LINE , too wide for the page, for example).

So, you might check the heading to see if something like this
is happening.
