Agnes,

I threw away my last DMP close to ten years ago, so what I write here is from memory. As far as I can remember, you supress the "first" page eject by adding Noeject, or was it Nopageeject, to the Report.. command. Then you "eat" the "second" page eject by re-directing it to a dummy file. I hope I explained it clearer now.
