>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)
