Re: SQR last-page problem

["Kulshrestha, Alok" <ALOKKULSHRESTHA@IMF.ORG>]

Terry,

One way of doing this would be, if you could store the report2 data into an
ARRAY until report1 is finished. You could initialize #page-count variable
to the  correct page number and give the print statement taking data out
from array.

Hope it helps you..
