>>Is there a way to get the total number of pages for a report to print out on the report? In other words, I want the report to print out "Page 1 of 10", not just the page number. I know about "_PAGENO" for page numbers. Is there a function for "Total number of report pages"? If not, is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Hi Bret,

I have an impression, that this section in KB should be updated. I saw this problem hundreds of times here in UT and the proposed safe solution is:
local lnTotalPages, lcTempFile
lcTempFile=lcTempPath+"dummy.txt"
REPORT FORM myReport to FILE (lcTempFile) NOCONSOLE
lnTotalPages=_pageno
REPORT FORM myReport to (YOUR DEVICE FOLLOWS HERE) NOCONSOLE
delete file (lcTempFile)
