Re: header foolishness

["C. Willis III" <ceprn@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Don,

Your reply makes sense, but why would I get the correct values in the
show statements below in the begin-heading, and then get different (the
next record's) value when it actually prints??

Begin-Heading 15

do supra_heading

show 'last page flag = ' $last_page

if $last_page = 'N' and $letter = 'N'

  if $first_one = 'Y'
    show 'first vendor'
    show $vendor_id
  else
    show 'not first'
    show 'vendor = ' $old_vendor_id
  end-if

  show 'vendor name = ' $vendor_name
  show 'address one = ' $addr_one
  show 'address two = ' $addr_two
  show 'address thr = ' $addr_thr
  show 'address for = ' $addr_for
  show 'vendor city = ' $city
  show 'vendr state = ' $state
  show 'vendor post = ' $postal

  print 'Vendor :'                            (+1,   3)
  if $first_one = 'Y'
    print $vendor_id                          ( 0,  13)
  else
    print $old_vendor_id                      ( 0,  13)
  end-if

  if $vendor_name <> ' '
    print '  '                                ()
    print $vendor_name                        ()
  end-if

  if $addr_one <> ' '
    print $addr_one                           (+1,  13)
  end-if

  if $addr_two <> ' '
    print $addr_two                           (+1,  13)
  end-if

  if $addr_thr <> ' '
    print $addr_thr                           (+1,  13)
  end-if

  if $addr_for <> ' '
    print $addr_for                           (+1,  13)
  end-if

  print $city                                 (+1,  13)
  print ' '                                   ()
  print $state                                ()
  print ' '                                   ()
  print $postal                               ()

  show 'counter = ' #counter
  show '$letter = ' $letter

  if $letter = 'Y'
    do sub_heading                                 ! proc 15
  end-if
end-if

End-Heading

Sorry this is so late, but I hadn't noticed any other replies, so...

Judging from this "example" I would guess that whatever values are being
set for the header, are now being reset *before* the "new-page" for the
report-break happens instead of after.  If that's not it, tell us more.
